The anxiety that Real Madrid was breathing in, repeating moments of doubt on the way to victory against Real Betis, and that which Kylian Mbappé was beginning to express on each missed occasion, was calmed by the Frenchman with his first goals at the Santiago Bernabéu for a joint liberation in a forced reaction to Barcelona’s firmness. Mbappé’s 25th shot brought the goal so dreamed of during his life, the first at the Santiago Bernabéu, so longed for by Madrid fans. He celebrated it feeling liberated. The result of a stroke of genius from Fede Valverde, with a backheel assist that set up a number 9 who increases his effectiveness when he starts from the left. The first match in which he was decisive with a double, the second from a penalty, at a moment in the second half when the match could have gone either way.
