Real Madrid wins 4-3 due to Mbappe's excellence

Real Madrid survived one of the most chaotic Champions League nights of the season, beating Olympiacos 4–3 in Piraeus thanks to an extraordinary four-goal display from Kylian Mbappé.

In front of a roaring crowd at the Georgios Karaiskákis Stadium, Olympiacos came out swinging but once Mbappé took control, the match turned into a showcase of individual brilliance rarely seen at this level.

Madrid overturned an early deficit, absorbed a late fightback, and ultimately left Greece with three vital points, all powered by their new superstar.

Olympiacos Strike Early: 1–0

The hosts stunned Madrid early when Chiquinho fired in the opener in the 8th minute, capitalizing on a fast transition that exposed Madrid’s defensive shape.

Olympiacos pressed high, moved the ball with purpose, and fed off the energy of the home crowd. For the first quarter-hour, Real Madrid were second best.

Mbappé Turns the Match on Its Head — Three Goals in Seven Minutes

From the moment Real Madrid settled into possession, Mbappé completely flipped the narrative.

22' — Mbappé (1–1)

A sharp diagonal run, a perfectly weighted through ball, and a calm low finish into the corner. Madrid were level.

24' — Mbappé (1–2)

Instead of retreating, Mbappé stayed aggressive. A quick one-two on the edge of the box freed him, and he fired in his second with precision.

29' — Mbappé (1–3)

The hat-trick was complete; one of the fastest in Champions League history, coming in roughly seven minutes. A burst of acceleration put him behind the defense again, and he finished with trademark composure.

Madrid went from trailing to cruising, all thanks to one man.

Olympiacos Fight Back: 2–3

The second half opened with renewed intensity from the Greek side.

52' — Mehdi Taremi (2–3)
