Kylian Mbappe helped Real Madrid defeat Leganes 3-2 on Saturday night by scoring a bold Panenka penalty and completing a career-first.

Mbappe’s brace was essential since Los Blancos appeared to be losing a critical victory at the half, trailing 2-1.

However, barely two minutes after halftime, Jude Bellingham, an England midfielder, equalized the score with a goal.

Then, to give Carlo Ancelotti’s team all three points and tie archrivals Barcelona on points in La Liga, Mbappe earned a career-first by scoring his first free kick in professional football.

Leganes goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic feinted low to his left as the ball sank into the center of the net after the Frenchman’s penalty was chipped clean down the middle in the first half.

Then, with a shot that arrowed into the lowest right-hand corner, he would score his first free-kick of his career.

Fran Garcia laid the ball back to him after he was taken 21 yards away, and he curled home the winner to start raucous celebrations inside the Bernabeu.

It was his 33rd goal in his first season in the Spanish capital, matching the total scored by Cristiano Ronaldo after he left Manchester United in 2009.

Despite the fact that Ancelotti’s team has played one more game than their rivals, who will visit Girona on Sunday, the outcome saw Real go level on points with Barcelona.

After Espanyol held the Rojiblancos to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night, both teams are now six points ahead of Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona was reportedly warned that Martinez’s inclusion in their starting lineup was risky, but manager Hansi Flick gave the go-ahead to play him nevertheless, according to a report from Catalunya Radio, as reported by Diario Sport.

The report also asserts that sources close to the club sought legal counsel from experts in sport administration law in order to minimize any potential legal risks.

Osasuna made reference to Article 5 of Annex I of the FIFA Regulations in a statement issued on Friday.

According to this, a player is “not entitled to play for the club with which he is registered during the period for which he has been released or should have been released… plus an additional period of five days, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant association.”

“A club that improperly fields a player who does not meet the requirements to participate in a match shall forfeit this match and the opponent shall be declared the winner with a score of three goals to zero,” according to RFER rules.

FC Barcelona has been approached by Mail Sport for comment.
