Mbappe Scores Twice in Real Madrid Victory Over Marseille

Kylian Mbappe scored twice from penalty kicks to help Real Madrid defeat Marseille in their first Champions League match of the season. The game saw a dramatic turn when Madrid, down to 10 men after Dani Carvajal's red card, was awarded a penalty in the 81st minute due to a handball by Facundo Medina.

Marseille, despite playing well, took the lead against the run of play with a goal from Tim Weah. Mbappe, who had been a threat throughout the game, equalized for Madrid from the penalty spot after Marseille went ahead.

The match also saw Trent Alexander-Arnold's early exit due to injury and Carvajal's red card following an altercation with Marseille's goalkeeper. The game ended with Madrid securing a victory in a challenging situation.

Mbappe's performance was crucial for Madrid, with the Frenchman scoring both goals from penalties. The win marked Mbappe's 50th goal for Madrid in 64 appearances and his 57th goal in 88 Champions League games across his career.

Madrid now faces uncertainties with injuries to Alexander-Arnold and Carvajal, as they prepare for upcoming fixtures in the Champions League. Coach Xabi Alonso may need to explore alternative options for the right-back position in the absence of both players.
