Mbappé Hat-Trick Seals Dramatic 4-3 Comeback as Real Madrid Sink Olympiacos

Kylian Mbappé scored a brilliant second-half hat-trick as Real Madrid staged a stunning comeback to defeat Olympiacos 4-3 in a breathless UEFA Champions League encounter at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The Greek champions stunned the home crowd by taking the lead twice in the first half, with goals from Ayoub El Kaabi and a Rodinei strike sandwiching an early Olympiacos opener. Real Madrid looked vulnerable and trailed 2-1 at the break.

Ancelotti’s side emerged transformed after the interval. Mbappé equalised in the 22nd minute with a clinical finish, then put Madrid ahead just two minutes later with a composed low drive. Olympiacos fought back valiantly and levelled at 3-3 through Willian José in the 81st minute, setting up a frantic finale.

The decisive moment arrived in the 89th minute when Mbappé completed his hat-trick, latching onto a through-ball and slotting past Tzolakis to spark wild celebrations. The Frenchman’s treble took his Champions League tally to eight goals in five appearances this season.

The victory lifts Real Madrid to second in their group and provides vital momentum after recent domestic setbacks. Olympiacos, despite a spirited display, remain winless in the competition.
