Real Madrid, the 15-time champions of the Champions League, defeated Kairat 5-0 on Tuesday to claim a hat-trick in the league phase, according to Kylian Mbappe.
After more than 7, 000 kilometers of travel, Xabi Alonso’s side recovered from their crushing defeat at city rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Mbappe scored the winning goal, while Eduardo Camavinga and Brahim Diaz completed Madrid’s victory, which temporarily placed them at the top of the table.
After their lengthy journey east, particularly with French superstar Mbappe, Kairat defeated Celtic in the first match of the tournament, but they were unable to handle Los Blancos.
Mbappe told Movistar, “We can’t forget what happened this weekend (against Atletico), but we have to keep thinking about it and working to improve every day and every week to prevent that from happening again.”

The forward has 13 goals already this season in nine games, scoring them all, but he appeared irate when he missed a good chance in the second half.
Mbappe continued, “My work is helping the team, doing what I can to win the team.”
Real Madrid bought me because I have five chances and I want to score five goals, so I must score five goals.
I’ll strive to be better and make more of the same effort to score goals and defend the net.
Due to the injuries of three other club goalkeepers, hosts Kairat and 18-year-old Sherkhan Kalmurza were paired in goal.
Madrid’s opener was caused by Kalmurza’s awkwardly felled Franco Mastantuono.
In the 25th minute, Mbappe sent Kalmurza the wrong way after the youngster had earlier saved a shot from the penalty spot.
Before the break, the Frenchman whistled a shot narrowly wide of the far post, which had been Madrid’s main threat all season.
“Enormous pass!”
After being hit hard by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Mbappe scored his second goal just seven minutes into the second period.
After scoring twice against Marseille in Madrid’s opener, Mbappe subdued Kalmurza with a gentle dink over the latter.
Mbappe said, “I added the other 20% and it was an enormous pass that was worth 80% of the goal.”
After receiving two passes from Vinicius Junior, the striker should have scored his hat-trick, but Vinicius Junior only had time to beat the goalkeeper before firing wide.
Dastan Satpayev, a promising 17-year-old forward who will move to Chelsea next summer, whipped a free-kick just wide.
When Dani Ceballos was found guilty of tripping Valery Gromyko, Kairat believed they had won a penalty, but it was voided following a VAR review.
After Arda Guler threw the ball into his path on the edge of the box, Mbappe then scored his treble, finishing with a razor-sharp finish.
