Real Madrid came from behind with a goal in the first minute to convincingly beat Las Palmas 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Fabio Silva's goal after 26 seconds was the last thing Carlo Ancelotti needed after a tough week Spanish media reported that he was under pressureBut his team quickly recovered to assert itself in a match they had to win to take advantage of the slip-ups of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
Kylian Mbappé equalized Madrid He equalized from the penalty spot after bringing down Rodrigo and the Frenchman played a key role in helping the 15-time champions. UEFA Champions League Winners take the match away from Las Palmas.
The Frenchman raced towards the penalty area after an ill-advised rush by Juanma Herzog led to Mbappe coming up with the ball, and his shot was blocked well by Jasper Cillessen. But the ball bounced to Lucas Vazquez and he turned it over to Brahim Diaz to score into an empty net.
Mbappe made it 3-1 three minutes later, expertly curling Rodrigo's ball into the top corner with laser-like precision, and the goal sparked an emotional response from Ancelotti on the touchline – with the Italian looking to the penalty area to pump his fists furiously. In celebration.
Rodrygo put the icing on Real Madrid's cake, turning Fran Garcia's cross into Cillessen's bottom corner, before Las Palmas were reduced to ten men after Benito was shown a straight red card for holding Vasquez high on his body. Studs him.
David Alaba was a second-half substitute for Real Madrid, continuing his return to action after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
