With two goals in less than 10 minutes, Kylian Mbappé ended his scoring drought in the Spanish league, leading Real Madrid to a 2-0 win over Real Betis.

Mbappé, who joined Madrid as one of the club's biggest signings in years, had previously found the net only once in the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta. Despite his dry spell in the league, he eagerly anticipated scoring at the Santiago Bernabeu.

His first goal came in the 67th minute after a slick backheel pass by Federico Valverde, and he later converted a penalty in the 75th minute following a foul on Vinicius Junior. This victory propels the defending champions to within four points of league leaders Barcelona. Coach Carlo Ancelotti highlighted that the team-focused approach was more crucial than individual achievements, indicating a shift in the team's overall performance.
