UEFA Champions League – League Phase
Santiago Bernabéu
Real Madrid delivered a ruthless UEFA Champions League masterclass at the Santiago Bernabéu, dismantling AS Monaco 6–1 to underline their credentials as genuine contenders for European glory.
Inspired performances from Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior proved far too much for the Ligue 1 side, as Los Blancos ran riot in front of a jubilant home crowd.
Mbappé Strikes Early Against Former Club
Real Madrid set the tone almost immediately. Mbappé wasted no time haunting his former club, opening the scoring inside five minutes with a clinical finish. The French star doubled his tally before the half-hour mark, capitalising on Monaco’s defensive lapses to put Madrid firmly in control.
The early goals stunned the visitors and allowed Madrid to dictate the tempo with confidence and flair.
Vinícius Júnior Orchestrates the Rout
While Mbappé supplied the goals, Vinícius Júnior was the heartbeat of Madrid’s attack. The Brazilian dazzled throughout, assisting Mbappé’s second, teeing up teenage sensation Franco Mastantuono for another, and later curling home a spectacular goal of his own.
His relentless pace, creativity, and confidence repeatedly tore Monaco apart, earning him a deserved Man of the Match accolade.
Monaco Overwhelmed as Madrid Pour It On
Any faint hopes of a Monaco comeback were extinguished early in the second half when pressure from Vinícius forced a defensive own goal, stretching the scoreline further. Although Jonathan Teze pulled one back for Monaco in the 72nd minute, it was little more than a consolation on a night dominated by the Spanish giants.
Substitute Jude Bellingham completed the scoring late on, calmly finishing to make it 6–1 and cap a comprehensive team performance.
Arbeloa Praises Unity and Belief
Interim head coach Álvaro Arbeloa was full of praise for his side after the final whistle, singling out Vinícius Júnior’s influence and highlighting the importance of unity and confidence as Madrid chase success on multiple fronts.
The electric atmosphere at the Bernabéu, further boosted by the presence of former manager Carlo Ancelotti, reflected a squad brimming with belief and momentum.
What the Result Means
The emphatic victory strengthens Real Madrid’s position in the Champions League league phase and sends a clear warning to Europe. With attacking firepower, depth, and confidence all clicking, Los Blancos look every inch a side capable of lifting yet another European crown.
Final Word
Real Madrid’s 6–1 demolition of AS Monaco was more than just a win—it was a statement. From Mbappé’s ruthless finishing to Vinícius Júnior’s brilliance and Bellingham’s late flourish, the champions-elect showcased their trademark Champions League aura on a night to remember at the Bernabéu.
