Real Madrid 4-0 Málaga at Santiago Bernabéu in LaLiga 2026-27

Real Madrid defeated Málaga 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu in a LaLiga 2026-27 fixture on 2026-08-30, with the hosts scoring three times before halftime to secure a comprehensive victory.

The result left Real Madrid unbeaten so far this season and continued a positive start in Jose Mourinho’s second stint at the club, which the original report described as impressive. The report noted Madrid had opened the campaign with a narrow win and appeared a stronger side in their previous match ahead of facing Málaga. Jude Bellingham needed just 19 minutes to demonstrate to everyone why Real Madrid spent so much for him.

Málaga arrived at the Bernabéu under head coach Juan Funes seeking a first top-flight victory after a 2-0 loss to Atlético Madrid and a 1-1 draw with Deportivo La Coruña in their opening LaLiga matches. The visitors remained without a win following this third league outing, conceding early and failing to recover. The match was played at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The opening goal came in the 19th minute when Jude Bellingham gained space inside the box and hit a right-footed drive from close distance that Málaga custodian Alfonso Herrero couldn’t save. An own goal by Alfonso Herrero also contributed to Real Madrid’s first-half scoring, and Kylian Mbappé added a strike in the 30th minute to round off the hosts’ first-half onslaught.

Kylian Mbappé’s effort in the 30th minute increased his tally to four goals in the early stages of the LaLiga season. This goal was his fourth in his first three league outings of the 2026-27 campaign, following a hat-trick against Real Sociedad. He scored two goals, but another goal was given as an own goal.

Los Blancos took all three points in LaLiga matchweek 3 thanks to the first-half combination of Jude Bellingham, the own goal and Kylian Mbappé, with the scoreboard reading 3-0 at halftime.

The victory moved Real Madrid to the top of the table after game week three as Los Blancos secured their third successive win to continue their winning run under Jose Mourinho.
