Kylian Mbappé Scores First Real Madrid Hat-Trick in 3-0 Win Over Valladolid

The French star's performance extends Real Madrid's lead in La Liga to four points as he continues a streak of eight goals in five games.

Kylian Mbappé scored his first hat-trick for Real Madrid in a 3-0 victory over bottom-placed Valladolid, marking his 20th career hat-trick across club and international play.
The goals included a first-half strike, a second-half counterattack finish, and a penalty conversion in injury time after a foul on Jude Bellingham led to Mario Martín's red card.
Real Madrid extended their lead at the top of the La Liga standings to four points after Atlético Madrid's earlier draw against Villarreal, with Barcelona trailing by 10 points with a game in hand.
Mbappé, who has struggled with injuries and adaptation earlier in the season, has now scored eight goals in his last five games and is second in the La Liga scoring charts with 15 goals, one behind Robert Lewandowski.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti praised Mbappé's recent form, emphasizing his growing rhythm and importance to the team's title defense as they prepare for their next Champions League match against Brest.
