Mbappe WIN

Mbappé faced criticism for his form earlier in the season, but has now scored 18 goals in all competitions, including four in his last three appearances this week. Madrid's comeback win saw them take advantage of slip-ups from Atletico Madrid -- who lost 1-0 at Leganés -- and Barcelona, who drew 1-1 at Getafe. "It was an important game, we knew what had happened yesterday, with Atletico and Barcelona," Mbappé said. "We wanted to win, and we did. We started badly... but the reaction was 'top'. "We were on the front foot, playing fast, attacking the spaces with quality. We scored a lot of goals. We're happy, because we're leaders." The win over Las Palmas was a convincing response to losing 5-2 to Barcelona in the Spanish Supercopa final, and needing extra time to beat Celta Vigo in midweek in the Copa del Rey. "I'm proud of [the team's] reaction," Mbappé said. "Losing the Supercopa was tough, and although we played well in the cup, we made mistakes and went to extra time. But we had the personality to win. Today was very important. Now we depend on ourselves to win the league."
