Mbappé and Bellingham Shine as Real Madrid Crush Málaga 4-0

Real Madrid maintained their perfect start to the 2026/27 La Liga season with a dominant 4-0 victory over Málaga at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday. The win marks three consecutive victories for the league leaders under manager José Mourinho.

The hosts opened the scoring through Jude Bellingham, who found the back of the net with a precise finish. Real Madrid’s pressure soon forced an error from Málaga goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero, whose unfortunate own goal doubled the advantage before the break.

In the second half, summer signing Trent Alexander-Arnold turned provider, delivering a brilliant assist to Kylian Mbappé, who clinicaly slotted home Madrid's third. The rout was completed in stoppage time when substitute Arda Güler converted a cross from Vinícius Júnior, sealing an emphatic 4-0 win.

With nine points from three matches, Real Madrid sit firmly at the top of the La Liga standings, showing both defensive solidity and formidable attacking depth early in the campaign.
