Real Madrid wins 3-1 against Stuttgart in UCL
Liverpool come from behind to beat AC Milan 3-1
After his transfer to Real Madrid (Spain), Kylian Mbappe, who had been sluggish at the beginning of the season, showed off his peak goal-scoring ability by scoring goals in the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) following the Spanish Primera Liga (La Liga).
Mbappe scored the opening goal in the first leg of the 2024-25 UCL league phase against Stuttgart (Germany) held at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain on the 18th (Korean time), leading Real Madrid to a 3-1 victory.
Mbappe formed a triangle with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, and broke the 0-0 tie just 20 seconds into the second half. Rodrygo broke through the right flank and passed, and Mbappe finished lightly in front of the goal.
With this, Mbappe scored his first goal in the UCL wearing a Real Madrid uniform. In addition, he has scored in three consecutive games since the 4th round match against Real Betis in La Liga on the 2nd.
Mbappe, who left Paris Saint-Germain (PSG, France) to join Real Madrid ahead of this season, scored one goal in the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta (Italy), but was criticized harshly by local media for going silent in the following three La Liga games.
Some pointed out that Mbappe’s problem was that he was playing as an unfamiliar central striker, and that it was not easy for him to coexist with Vinicius and Rodrygo. However, Mbappe quickly adapted to his new team and silenced the criticism surrounding him.
Mbappe scored two goals against Betis to end his scoreless streak in La Liga, and then scored a penalty kick against La Liga’s Sociedad on the 15th to seal the win. He then scored the opening goal against Stuttgart in the UCL that day, continuing his goal streak for three consecutive games.
FootMob gave Mbappe a rating of 8.2, the second highest among Real Madrid players behind goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (8.4). Rodrygo received 8.1 and Vinicius received 7.8.
Real Madrid, who took the lead with a goal from Mbappe, allowed a header to Denis Undave in the 23rd minute of the second half to equalize, but Antonio Rudiger scored the winning goal with a header from a corner kick in the 38th minute of the second half.
Then, in the 50th minute of the second half, Endrik dribbled in and boldly scored with a mid-range shot, sealing the victory.
At 18 years and 58 days old, Endric has now surpassed the previous record of 18 years and 113 days set by Raul Gonzalez in 1995 against Ferencváros (Hungary) as the youngest Real Madrid player to score in the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Liverpool (England) achieved a 3-1 comeback win over AC Milan (Italy) in an away match in the UCL.
Liverpool, who conceded a goal just three minutes into the game, equalized with Ibrahima Konate in the 23rd minute of the first half, and Virgil van Dijk headed home a goal from a corner kick in the 41st minute of the first half. Dominik Szoboszlai scored the winning goal in a counterattack in the 22nd minute of the second half.
Juventus (Italy) beat PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands) 3-1, Aston Villa (England) crushed Young Boys (Switzerland) 3-0, and Sporting Lisbon (Portugal) beat Lille (France) 2-0.
