Mbappe empties his magazine: three goals in seven minutes against Olympiacos!

The last three setbacks for Real Madrid coincided with the fact that Kylian Mbappe did not find the net. The Los Blancos star, after a spectacular start, suddenly went dry and the team felt it. Real Madrid needed many things to get out of the rut, but the main one was for Kylian to get back on the goal trail.

And he did it at a time of maximum difficulty. Olympiacos took an early lead and the ghosts of another Real Madrid fiasco reappeared in Xabi Alonso's side. But then the unstoppable and lethal Kylian Mbappe appeared once again to solve the critical situation. It was in the blink of an eye. He did it with a dizzying hat-trick. Three goals in seven minutes (22', 24' and 29'). Six minutes and 43 seconds, to be exact. The second fastest hat-trick in Champions League history, only surpassed by Mohamed Salah's six minutes and 12 seconds for Liverpool against Rangers in 2022.

Fifth hat-trick in the Champions League

It is Mbappe's fifth hat-trick in the Champions League (three with PSG and two with Real Madrid), but none as quick as the one he scored against Olympiacos. Seven minutes of fury from the Real Madrid star turned the scoreline around after Chiquinho's initial goal. Mbappe came to the rescue with three goals that took his tally for the season to 21 goals, eight of them in the Champions League in just five games.
