Real Madrid 4-1 Real Sociedad: Mbappé Hat-Trick Leads Mourinho’s Side to Dominant Bernabéu Win

Real Madrid made a statement on José Mourinho’s return to the Santiago Bernabéu, defeating Real Sociedad 4-1 in a commanding LaLiga victory on Wednesday night.

Kylian Mbappé was the star of the evening, producing a sensational hat-trick to lead Los Blancos to their second consecutive league victory. The French forward opened the scoring in the 40th minute before Luka Sučić pulled Real Sociedad level shortly before half-time.

Real Madrid came out with greater intensity after the break and quickly regained control. Mbappé completed his brace in the 59th minute before Vinícius Júnior added Madrid’s third goal following an excellent attacking move involving Jude Bellingham.

Mbappé then completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute, putting the result beyond doubt and sending the Bernabéu into celebration.

The victory represents a huge improvement from Madrid’s hard-fought 2-1 win over Espanyol in their opening fixture. Mourinho’s team looked considerably more fluid in attack, while Bellingham once again impressed with his energy and creativity.

For Real Sociedad, it was a difficult evening. They showed encouraging moments during the opening half but struggled to contain Madrid after the interval.

Mourinho’s second spell at the Bernabéu could hardly have received a better home welcome. With Mbappé already finding top form, Real Madrid have sent an early warning to their LaLiga rivals.
