  "account": "In a comfortable La Liga match, Real Madrid secured a perfect start to their season with a 4-0 victory over promoted side Malaga at the Santiago Bernabeu. Jude Bellingham opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a brilliant solo goal, followed by an own goal from Malaga goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero. Kylian Mbappe added a third goal in the 30th minute, and substitute Arda Guler sealed the win in added time. This victory lifted Real to nine points from three matches, two points ahead of Atletico Madrid and Alaves. Barcelona, currently fourth with six points and a game in hand, will face Rayo Vallecano on Monday. Mourinho made five changes to his starting lineup, with Marc Cucurella making his debut for the club.",
