Real Madrid leads La Liga with 12 points out of a possible 12 (four wins in four games), but its two-point lead over the two Catalan clubs, FC Barcelona and Espanyol, remains fragile. Impressive at the start of the season, the Madrid club has just won its fifth official match in a row against Olympique de Marseille (2-1) on Tuesday evening in the first match of the Champions League group stage. Once again, it was Kylian Mbappe who secured the three points for his club with two successful penalties (29th and 81st). This is the sixth goal in five official matches for the former PSG star at the start of the season!
The Madrid number 10, who had a remarkable first season in 2024-2025, is on track to break new records. Having scored for his country in the qualifiers for the next World Cup in Ukraine (0-2) and against Iceland (2-1) earlier this month, the 26-year-old has been decisive in three of his four league games since the start of the 2025-2026 season against Osasuna (1-0), away to Real Oviedo (0-3, 2 goals) and in the Basque Country against Real Sociedad (1-2).

Having scored in each of his last four matches, Mbappe could find the net again against Espanyol this weekend.
For the record, Kylian Mbappe scored the final goal in last season's 4-1 home win over the Catalan club.
