Real Madrid said “no long talk” and got the job done against Malaga, with Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé bringing the heat. When those two are involved, defenders may as well start drafting apology notes early.
The pair were the headline acts as Madrid moved past Malaga. Bellingham supplied his usual all-action menace, while Mbappé did what Mbappé tends to do: make a football match feel unfairly fast.
Madrid fans, please try to act surprised. Just a little.
