Kylian Mbappe insists victory against Kairat Almaty cannot erase painful defeat to Atletico Madrid

Kylian Mbappe may have delivered a stunning hat-trick in Europe, but he made it clear that Real Madrid’s recent setback is still fresh in their minds.

The French forward reminded fans and teammates that celebration must not overshadow lessons from defeat.

Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid cruised to a 5-0 victory against Kairat Almaty in the Champions League. His first-half penalty opened the scoring before he added two more in the second half. Eduardo Camavinga and Brahim Diaz came off the bench to complete a commanding win, extending Madrid’s flawless European run.

Despite the brilliance, Mbappé kept the spotlight on accountability. “Does this win make us forget the derby? No, no, we must never forget,” Mbappe told reporters. “We cannot forget what happened this weekend,” he added, recalling the 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid.

That heavy defeat was Madrid’s first of the season and highlighted defensive problems that must be addressed. Mbappe emphasized focus and discipline, warning against complacency even as Los Blancos dominate the Champions League stage.
