Real Madrid beat Sporting Braga 3-0 and left behind the complications they had had in the first minutes of the match. The team led by Carlo Ancelotti suffered at the beginning with a penalty against them, but was contained by Andriy Lunin with a great flight. The Ukrainian was a starter on the fly, since in the previous warm-up Kepa suffered discomfort in his right leg.

After the penalty, Madrid changed its mind and left behind the unexpected attacks by the Portuguese. In the first half, Rodrygo Goes was important to serve the first goal to Brahim Díaz and sealed the win in the second half with an exquisite finish over goalkeeper Matheus. In this way, the white team is already in the round of 16 and will seek to secure first place on the next date when they host Napoli. By adding, Ancelotti's men will be first in group C.

The Brazilian was not only a figure on Champions League night, but also rose to the top of a prestigious list: that of Brazilian scorers in the UCL with the white shirt. With his goal he reached 17 goals in the European competition and surpassed Roberto Carlos who had 16, not only him, but Vinicius also reached 17 with the 2-0 he scored and now both occupy first place.

On the other hand, Mbappé has only two goals in four UEFA Champions League games, in addition, yesterday he was strongly criticized by fans, as Paris Saint-Germain lost against AC Milan 2-1, and also, Kylian Mbappé did not appear, he did not play well and he was criticized for it.
