Real Madrid beat Racing Santander 3-0 in La Liga as Kylian Mbappé scores from the penalty spot, with Jude Bellingham and Yan Diomandé also finding the net. The result keeps Real Madrid near the top of the table, with one report stating they move within three points of Barcelona.

Several outlets also place Mbappé’s performance in the context of events from earlier in the week. The Punch, the Guardian Sport, and Yahoo Sports all reference a “China controversy” or social-media fallout tied to a video and link it to a need to apologise. In contrast, BBC Sport and NDTV focus more directly on the match outcome and the scorers, while Vanguard largely repeats the game result and Mbappé’s role.
