A perfect start for Mou! Real Madrid dominate Málaga 4-0 to remain unstoppable in LaLiga

R eal Madrid has won all three of its matches this season , powered by the superb form of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé . The latest, a 4-0 win over Málaga , who returned to the Santiago Bernabéu eight years later and did so without any inhibitions, but were unable to sustain for more than 19 minutes the hope of getting a good result.

Real Madrid wrapped up the match in eleven minutes . To the rhythm of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé . Just like four days earlier against Real Sociedad. Two footballers who have started the season at a different pace. Without the chance or the need to complete a typical preseason, since both joined in the final stage after playing in a World Cup from which they have retained the positive momentum .

'Bellingham is enjoying himself on the pitch again. He didn't last season. Mourinho seems to have found his place . Although confirmation will come on the big days, for now, "Mou"'s second project at Real Madrid is moving forward with firm steps .'

And Bellingham does it with exuberance, agility, and poise. A footballer with exceptional physical gifts who looks fully tuned up again. His first goal proves it. He picked up a loose ball after a burst from Kylian Mbappé , and then it was the Englishman who took off, leaving the defenders behind - Málaga appealed for a foul at the start after Jude struck Ángel Recio on the neck with his left hand- until he reached the box and slotted the ball past Alfonso Herrero.

In the 19th minute, Real Madrid opened the floodgates for a rout forged despite the visitors' bravery. On their return to the Santiago Bernabéu eight years later and after being relegated to the third tier of Spanish football, Juanfran Funes' side did not lose their essence. Playing out from the back with risk and boldness from their own box and showing verticality in the opposition half, but it was precisely in this area that they struggled to find continuity. In the top flight and at the Santiago Bernabéu, these passes become more difficult.

Luck wasn’t on their side either, although it was a better condition. The second goal was caused by Bellingham with a header that Carlos Puga cleared off the line, the ball hit Alfonso Herrero on the back and went into his own net.

The third goal in eleven minutes was scored by Kylian Mbappé . True to his appointment with goal, he struck first time a driven cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold , making the most of his good foot and justifying Mourinho's rotation at full-back.

Five changes in Mourinho's starting lineup

And that of the rest of the team. Five changes to the starting lineup after repeating the same starting eleven in the first two matches, and Real Madrid even raised the level they showed on Wednesday against Real Sociedad . From the whistles at halftime with it 1-1 on Wednesday to a second half without a story this Sunday.

Real Madrid slowed the pace and took no risks with the score in their favor, with Vinícius Junior being the most incisive, though unsuccessful, in trying to find his goal. Even so, he added an assist to his stats after a one-two with Arda Güler that completed the rout in the 91st minute.

Earlier, minutes for Yan Diomande , who came onto the pitch in the 64th minute and produced a burst down the right flank and little else, still in a specific process of getting up to speed after a preseason marked by his future, until his move to Real Madrid was finalized ahead of clubs such as Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.

Second half in which Málaga came close to their chance of scoring a goal that, however, would not have affected the final result. However, the penalty awarded by referee Juan Martínez , who judged that Diomande had handled the ball after a rebound from Antonio Rüdiger , was reviewed by VAR and the referee himself reversed his decision after watching the action again on the monitor.

4-0 for Real Madrid and three points to maintain their steady stride at the start of the league campaign, while Málaga suffered their second defeat in their return to the top flight, after the one recorded at Atlético de Madrid's ground, and have accumulated one point after three matches, with their draw against Deportivo A Coruña.
