Real Madrid won 3-0 away at Racing Santander in the eleventh round of LaLiga, with all three goals arriving in the first half at El Sardinero. José Mourinho's side were never threatened and moved to within three points of leaders Barcelona.
Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the eleventh minute, playing his first match after a turbulent week that included a second-place finish at the Ballon d'Or and a diplomatic row in China. Jude Bellingham doubled the lead in the 22nd minute, and Yan Diomandé added the third shortly afterwards.
Bellingham's goal was the 50th of his Real Madrid career, reached in 154 appearances. According to talkSPORT, that milestone eclipses a record previously held by Zinedine Zidane, achieved in 73 fewer games than the Frenchman needed.
FootVal values Mbappé at €203m, marginally above his Transfermarkt market value of €200m. The forward has now scored 12 goals in 11 LaLiga appearances this season, continuing a form that makes him central to Madrid's title ambitions.
