A Night of Brilliance in LaLiga

The Levante vs. Real Madrid clash turned into another masterclass from Los Blancos as they sealed a 4-1 victory to extend their perfect start under new coach Xabi Alonso. With Kylian Mbappe scoring a cheeky penalty and a stylish finish, and Vinicius Jr curling in a sensational trivela goal, the night belonged to Real Madrid’s attacking power.

Franco Mastantuono, just 18 years old, also joined the party with his first goal for the club, proving why he’s considered one of Argentina’s brightest young stars. For Levante, Etta Eyong offered a glimmer of hope with a brave header, but Madrid’s firepower proved too much.

The game was not just another LaLiga fixture—it was a statement. A statement that Real Madrid are hungry for glory, and Mbappe has already begun his Ballon d’Or 2026 charge.

The Match

First Half: Vinicius and Mastantuono Shine

The start looked like it was going to be tough for Levante. Carlos Alvarez came close and Adrian de la Fuente missed a big chance. But Madrid found their rhythm.

In the 28th minute Vinicius Jr scored with a stunning trivela, bending the ball with the outside of his boot into the far corner. A goal for the highlight reels and a reminder of his quality.

Ten minutes later Franco Mastantuono wrote his name into Madrid’s history books, scoring clinically after Vinicius had set him up. At 18 years old, Mastantuono is the fourth youngest Real Madrid scorer in LaLiga.

Levante wouldn’t give up. Early in the second half Ivan Romero’s cross led to Etta Eyong’s header, reducing Madrid’s lead to one. Suddenly the game was alive.

Second Half: Mbappe Steals the Show

Enter Kylian Mbappe. With the game still in the balance, Madrid’s superstar forward took over. In the 64th minute he scored a cheeky Panenka penalty, showing no nerves. Two minutes later Arda Guler played him in and Mbappe coolly rounded Mathew Ryan before scoring.

From 2-1 to 4-1 in a flash Madrid had killed the game. Mbappe now has seven goals in six games, scoring in nearly every match since his arrival. His double not only won the game but also means his campaign for the Ballon d’Or 2026 has officially started.

Alonso’s Perfect Start Continues

With this win, Real Madrid made it six victories out of six in LaLiga, sitting five points clear of Barcelona. Coach Xabi Alonso has equaled a record set in 2005 and could surpass it in the Madrid derby against Atletico.

Madrid’s stats showed dominance: 24 shots, 3.54 expected goals (xG), and a ruthless attack. Levante, despite fighting hard, managed just 11 attempts with 1.58 xG.
