Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, in José Mourinho's official home debut as Real Madrid coach, powered by an outstanding Kylian Mbappé hat-trick.
Match summary
The first half was anything but straightforward: Mbappé had opened the scoring early, only for Luka Sucic to level for the visitors, sending both sides in level at the break (1-1) after a scrappy display that even irritated Mourinho, who left his technical area to protest the lack of yellow cards for Real Sociedad fouls.
Everything changed in the second half, as Real Madrid scored three goals in just over half an hour. Mbappé restored the lead on the hour (60') after a one-two between Marc Cucurella and Federico Valverde down the left, before combining with Jude Bellingham and slotting past Álex Remiro for his second goal. Vinícius Júnior added a fourth off a Mbappé assist (68'), before Mbappé completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute, taking his tally to 89 goals in 105 appearances for the club.
