Real Madrid extend winning run with 3-0 victory at Racing Santander

Real Madrid secured a 3-0 victory over Racing Santander in LaLiga on Sunday, extending their winning streak to six games across all competitions. Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Yan Diomande sealed the win for Jose Mourinho's side, moving them three points behind leaders Barcelona and one behind Atletico Madrid. Despite Racing's strong performance, they struggled to create scoring opportunities, allowing Real Madrid to maintain control throughout the match.

Mbappe opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 11th minute, followed by a well-executed move involving Arda Guler and Bellingham in the 21st minute. Diomande added the third goal nine minutes before halftime. The Ivorian forward has been impressive, scoring four goals and providing three assists in his last six appearances.

Racing's goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala was also a factor, as he was hit by Bellingham's goal. Despite their efforts, Racing could only manage one shot on target and remained 16th in the table, just outside the relegation zone. Mourinho praised his forwards for setting the tone for the team's defensive play, noting that the connection between the players and the coach is growing positively. Real Madrid will next face AEK Athens in the Champions League on Wednesday.
