Real Madrid Dominates Málaga 3-0 with Bellingham and Mbappé's Stellar Performance

Real Madrid showcased their attacking prowess in a dominant 3-0 win over Málaga CF during LaLiga's Jornada 3 at the Estadio Bernabéu on August 30, 2026. Jude Bellingham was the star of the match, scoring two goals in quick succession before halftime, while Kylian Mbappé capped off the scoring.

Bellingham opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a close-range shot that found the back of the net, catching Málaga goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero off guard. Just seven minutes later, Bellingham scored again, reacting quickly to a rebound after his initial header was saved, although there was some debate over whether it should be credited as an own goal.

Mbappé added the third goal in the 30th minute, finishing a well-crafted move assisted by Trent Alexander-Arnold. This flurry of goals within the first half hour effectively sealed the match for Real Madrid, who maintained impressive possession throughout the game.

Málaga, newly promoted to LaLiga, faced a harsh reality check as they struggled to contain Madrid's offensive onslaught. The team, managed by Funes, will need to regroup quickly to address their defensive vulnerabilities as they aim to survive in the top division.

Real Madrid's performance under manager José Mourinho is beginning to take shape, with Bellingham's role in the attack providing a new dynamic. The team's ability to score early and control the game bodes well for their ambitions this season.
