Real Madrid brushed aside RB Leipzig on matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu, keeping Los Blancos’ perfect record so far.

Jose Mourinho’s men delivered an all-round performance against a motivated but complacent German side that failed to make the most of their chances.

Yan Diomande continues to be too hot to handle

Former Leipzig winger, Yan Diomande showed his class yet again in what was a 20-minute cameo, wherein he assisted Kylian Mbappe and netted a thunderous volley to score Real Madrid’s 4th goal of the match.

The Ivory Coast national extended his purple patch, now having recorded a goal or assist in each of his last four matches for the club.

Earlier in the night, Bernardo Silva scored his first goal in Madrid colours, becoming just the 2nd Portuguese since Cristiano Ronaldo to score for the Los Blancos.

Arda Guler was at his best yet again, as he controlled the tempo of the game and maintained a calm head, which also resulted in the Turk scoring a goal as well.

Meanwhile, Vinicius Junior’s form remains a concern after another poor outing for the Brazilian. For the first time in his Real Madrid career, Vini has not attempted even a single dribble in his last two matches for the club.

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, threatened to score twice in the opening half, prompting Thibaut Courtois to make otherworldly saves and prevent the ball from hitting the back of the net.

However, in the words of Jose Mourinho, the Belgian was denied a well-deserved clean sheet after Leipzig managed to pull one back, albeit too little, too late.

Now Mourinho’s men will shift their attention to perhaps the biggest clash in club football as they take on La Liga table toppers and arch-rivals FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Sunday, as Los Blancos look to maintain their winning momentum.
