Hat-Trick Hero Mbappe Destroys Kairat
A Night of Goals, Records and Pure Dominance
Kylian Mbappe lit up Kazakhstan with another Champions League masterclass, firing a hat-trick to power Real Madrid past Kairat Almaty. The French star not only tore through the home defence but also reached the magic mark of 60 goals in the competition, climbing into the all-time top six scorers.
Early Nerves, Early Breakthrough
Real Madrid wasted little time. A clumsy challenge from keeper Sherkhan Kalmurza on Franco Mastantuono gifted Mbappe the chance from the spot. Calm and clinical, he tucked the penalty into the corner to set the tone.
Mbappe’s Magic Doubles the Lead
Madrid stayed in control after the break, and the second goal came in classic Mbappe fashion. Racing onto a long ball from Thibaut Courtois, the striker showed ice-cool composure, lifting the ball over Kalmurza to make it 2-0.
VAR Drama, But No Turning Point
Kairat thought they had a lifeline when Valeri Gromyko went down under Dani Ceballos’ challenge. The referee pointed to the spot, but VAR stepped in and overturned the penalty. The home crowd’s hopes faded with the decision.
Hat-Trick Hero Seals the Show
Mbappe briefly fluffed his lines with a missed chance, but moments later he was at the right place at the right time to finish from close range. That strike completed his treble and underlined why he is one of the deadliest forwards the competition has ever seen.
Late Goals Add More Shine
Real Madrid weren’t done. Substitute Eduardo Camavinga nodded in from close range, and Brahim Diaz coolly finished after a neat pass from Gonzalo Garcia. For Kairat, it was their heaviest European defeat, while Madrid walked off with confidence restored.
History Made
Mbappe’s three goals pushed his Champions League tally to 60, moving him ahead of Thomas Muller on the all-time charts. At just 26, the French captain looks destined to climb even higher. For Xabi Alonso’s side, it was the perfect response after their La Liga setback against Atletico Madrid.
Madrid are back on track, and Mbappe is rewriting history—one goal at a time.
