Mbappe and Asencio strike as Real Madrid calm storm with 2-0 win over Levante

Real Madrid ended a difficult week with a 2-0 win marked by goals from Kylian Mbappé and Raúl Asencio, securing coach Álvaro Arbeloa’s first victory amid fan unrest.

  • After a bruising week, Real Madrid recorded a 2-0 win over relegation‑threatened Levante at the Santiago Bernabéu, easing immediate pressure.
  • The club's week included a Copa del Rey exit to Albacete and a hostile reception from Real Madrid supporters earlier this week.
  • In the second half, Kylian Mbappé won and converted a penalty to extend his league-leading tally to 19 goals, and seven minutes later Raúl Asencio headed home from an Arda Güler corner.
  • The victory snapped a two‑match losing run and offered a brief respite after a bruising week, with Real Madrid remaining second in LaLiga, four points behind leaders Barcelona.
  • Álvaro Arbeloa, interim head coach, urged focus on Tuesday's Champions League tie and vowed to work to improve Vinícius Júnior, who has six goals compared to Jude Bellingham’s five this season.
