According to BBC Sport, Real Madrid delivered a ruthless attacking display on Tuesday night, overwhelming AS Monaco 6–1 in a Champions League encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu.
At the heart of the performance was Vinicius Junior, who tormented Monaco’s back line throughout the contest.
The Brazilian combined flair with efficiency, contributing three assists and a superb goal while constantly stretching the visitors with his pace and movement.
Kylian Mbappe led the scoring with a clinical double, setting the tone early for a dominant evening, Madrid did not monopolise possession, but their transitions were devastating.
Mbappé opened the scoring with a composed finish after being released by Federico Valverde, before doubling the advantage midway through the first half by capitalising on Vinícius’ clever delivery.
The hosts carried that momentum into the second period, killing the contest with a swift third goal fashioned by Vinícius and calmly converted by Franco Mastantuono.
Pressure from Madrid soon told again as Thilo Kehrer turned the ball into his own net while attempting to cut out another dangerous Vinícius pass.
The Brazilian winger then added his name to the scoresheet himself, rifling in a powerful effort to make it five and cap a standout individual performance.
Monaco briefly benefited from a rare defensive lapse, with Jordan Teze taking advantage of a loose touch inside the box to pull one back.
Any hope of a comeback was quickly extinguished as Jude Bellingham sealed the emphatic victory with a composed strike late on.
