Real Madrid's victory was marked by a strong performance from Kylian Mbappé, who scored his fourth goal of the season. Mbappé's goal came after a low cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold, who provided the assist. The French striker easily converted the chance to seal the 3-0 scoreline.

Jude Bellingham opened the scoring for Real Madrid, finding the back of the net with a low shot past Malaga's goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero. The 32-year-old Spaniard was left red-faced after the opening goal, as a header from Bellingham found its way into the net via Herrero's body.

In the second half, Malaga managed to limit the damage, but Arda Güler scored in injury time to seal the 4-0 win for Real Madrid. The victory sees Real Madrid remain unbeaten in La Liga, with their next match scheduled for Friday against Real Betis.
