Real Madrid Bounce Back with 5–0 Champions League Win Over Kairat Almaty

Real Madrid delivered a dominant performance today, securing a convincing 5–0 victory away against Kairat Almaty in the Champions League.

Kylian Mbappé was the star of the night, netting a hat-trick with goals from the penalty spot, a lofted finish in open play, and a powerful strike. Eduardo Camavinga extended the lead with a composed header, before Brahim Díaz sealed the scoreline in stoppage time with an assist from Gonzalo García.

Although Kairat applied some pressure in the early stages, Real Madrid quickly regained control and dictated the pace of the match. Their attacking fluidity and defensive organization ensured a comfortable win.

The emphatic result comes just days after Madrid’s disappointing 5–2 defeat in the derby against Atlético, providing an immediate response and a morale boost for Xabi Alonso’s squad.

The fixture also posed a challenge in terms of travel, with the team covering nearly 4,000 miles (6,500 km) to play in Kazakhstan. However, the performance highlighted the squad’s depth and resilience, with Alonso making effective use of his rotation options.

The victory not only restores confidence but also strengthens Real Madrid’s momentum in their Champions League campaign.
