Vinícius Stars as Real Madrid Crush Monaco 6-1 as Mbappé Hits 11 in Champions League

Overview

• Madrid's goals came from Mbappé (2), Mastantuono, a Thilo Kehrer own goal, Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, with Jordan Teze scoring for Monaco.
• Vinícius delivered a goal plus multiple assists after recent criticism, with reports split on whether he recorded two or three.
• Mbappé’s brace took him to 11 goals in this edition, the first time he has reached double digits in a single Champions League campaign.
• Madrid sit on 15 points after seven games in the league phase; Bayern later rose to 18, so Madrid’s direct berth will be decided next week under the top‑eight format.
• Monaco remain on nine points and slid down the table, facing a tougher path before hosting Juventus on Jan. 28 as Madrid visit Benfica.
