Real Madrid have secured a perfect return to La Liga action with Kylian Mbappe firing them in front at Celta Vigo.
Los Blancos are looking to close the gap on league leaders Barcelona with a victory on the road in Galicia and their in-form Frenchman made the key first half impact.
Mbappe netted six goals across all competitions, prior to the October international break, before missing out on Les Bleus duty due to a fitness issue.
However, there was no lack of sharpness from the 25-year-old in Vigo, as he buried the first real chance of the night for the visitors.
A poor ball out of defence was intercepted by Eduardo Camavinga with the rebound ruthlessly buried from 20 yards by Mbappe.
What a finish by Kylian Mbappé 🤯
