Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick to lead Real Madrid to a 4-1 victory against Real Sociedad in La Liga during Jose Mourinho’s first home match back at the Santiago Bernabeu as the club’s coach. The match took place on August 26, 2026. Vinicius Junior also scored for Madrid, while Jude Bellingham provided two assists. Mourinho's team secured their second consecutive win, having previously defeated Espanyol 2-1.
The match began with both teams creating chances, with Vinicius and Mbappe testing Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro. Real Madrid took the lead five minutes before half-time when Federico Valverde assisted Mbappe, who scored with a shot into the top corner. However, Real Sociedad equalized shortly after through Luka Sucic, whose deflected shot found the net.
In the second half, Mbappe scored his second goal after a combination play with Valverde and Bellingham. Vinicius then added Madrid's third goal after winning back the ball in Real Sociedad's area. Mbappe completed his hat-trick with a well-placed shot over Remiro, following an assist from Vinicius.
Vinicius was substituted in the final minutes of the match, having contributed significantly to the team's performance. The victory sets a positive tone for Madrid as they continue their La Liga campaign. On August 27, Barcelona is scheduled to host Athletic Bilbao, with new signing Rodri expected to make his debut from the bench.
