Real Madrid defeated Champions League newcomers Kairat 5-0 in Kazakhstan on Tuesday at Ortalyq stadion in their second Champions League game of 2025-26.
Kylian Mbappe predictably scored the game's first goal, converting from the penalty spot a quarter of an hour.
The Frenchman doubled the lead shortly after the half-time interval after he latched onto the end of a long ball from Thibaut Courtois.
Kairat were denied the chance to halve their deficit due to a VAR intervention with just over 20 minutes to go, and that moment proved pivotal given Mbappe netted his third minutes later.
Los Blancos found time to score a fourth and fifth through an Eduardo Camavinga header and a late finish from Brahim Diaz, and the victory means they have six points from six, whereas Kairat have no points after two matches.
SPORTS MOLE'S VERDICT
Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso on September 27, 2025
Kairat should not be disappointed with their showing against the visitors, especially as Real's last four goals were scored in the closing stages of the game when the hosts had tired.
Los Blancos will be delighted to have bounced back to winning ways after their humiliating 5-2 defeat against Atletico Madrid on Saturday, though it is difficult to read much into Tuesday's triumph given the level of their opponents.
Xabi Alonso has still overseen a strong start to the season, and considering he has eight victories to his name in 2025-26 as Real boss, his tenure should be seen positively.
