Thanks to a hat-trick from Marco Asensio and a still stratospheric Karim Benzema, Real Madrid swept the promoted Mallorca 6-1 on Wednesday at the Santiago-Bernabeu for the sixth day of La Liga, and takes back control of the standings ahead of Atlético Madrid, short winner Tuesday in Getafe (2-1).
Born in Mallorca and trained at the club until 2015, Asensio thus passed three goals to his former team for his first start of the season, while Karim Benzema scored two goals and delivered two assists to ride the wave of his start of the season.
La Benz already has eight goals and seven assists in the first six La Liga games, higher than Lionel Messi in the 2011-2012 season (eight goals and five assists) and Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2014-2015 season (thirteen goals). and a pass).
Camavinga holder, a first
The formidable efficiency of KB9 and the precision of Asensio, who did not celebrate any of his goals out of respect for his former team, somewhat eclipsed Eduardo Camavinga's first start.
The French prodigy came out to applause in the 60th, after taking the time to treat the public with a spectacular hook (10th).
Ditto for his center-forward compatriot, released to an ovation in the 80th.
A full evening, therefore, for Carlo Ancelotti's men, who confirmed their status as the most stable team among the favorites for the final coronation, and who delighted their audience, with an enticing attacking game.
A frenzied pace that Benzema and his family will have to maintain during the poster on Saturday (9 p.m.) for the 7th day of the championship against Villarreal d'Unai Emery, who beat Elche 4-1 on Wednesday night.
