(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) REAL MADRID COACH, XABI ALONSO, ON KYLIAN MBAPPE, SAYING: “He's at a point where practically every match is decisive, he's effective, clinical in front of goal and, we have to link up well with him, we have to do a lot of things to create chances for him and today that was proven. The other day, even in the derby, the first goal he scored was spectacular, and we need to help him and let his quality flourish. I'm very happy with Kylian, not only because of the goals, but because of everything he's doing, the positive influence he's having on his teammates on a daily basis, how he's getting involved in the work, and he could be a player who has a spectacular season this year.” 4.

It's another competition, it's the Champions League, we knew we wanted to get off to a good start, take 6 out of 6. The next objective will be Juve, to try to beat them at home, but it's also important that you have the opportunity to score goals, and maybe in the future we'll remember this match. I think we've achieved our goal. It was a good match, the players played seriously, did things well, and now we're going back to focus on Villarreal.” 6. WHITE FLASH 7.

Fresh from a 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in LaLiga, Xabi Alonso's side responded emphatically in Kazakhstan, with Mbappe leading the charge. The French forward opened the scoring in the 25th minute from the penalty spot and doubled their lead from a quick counter early in the second half. Mbappe completed his hat-trick in the 73rd minute with a stunning effort from the edge of the box, with Eduardo Camavinga heading in Real's fourth. Brahim Diaz added a fifth in stoppage time, pouncing on a loose ball inside the area. (Production: Pavel, Mikheyev, Stefan Haskins)
