Mbappé scored three goals in just 21 minutes and led Real Madrid to 3-1 against Olympiacos in the fifth round match of the Champions League 2025/2026 league stage. The clash takes place this Wednesday at the Georgios Karaiskakis stadium, at Pireu, at Grécia, starting at 5pm on Brasília. The Greek team opened the scoring in the 7th minute with Chiquinho, but the French striker equalized in the 21st minute, turned the score around in the 23rd minute and doubled the score in the 28th minute of the first half.

Domination of the merengue attack
Mbappé is enjoying an inspired night and has already scored three accurate shots. The Frenchman received precise assistance from Vinicius Junior for the first goal, headed the second goal precisely and showed calmness in the third.
Vinicius Junior participates directly in offensive plays. The Brazilian almost scored in the 2nd minute and made the decisive pass for the equalizer. Arda Güler also contributed with a perfect cross for the second goal.
Olympiacos lost strength after Chiquinho’s injury. Taremi replaced the scorer of the Greek goal and tries to reorganize the attack alongside El Kaabi.
Featured defensive stocks
Lunin made two important saves before the turnaround. The Ukrainian goalkeeper stopped El Kaabi’s shot in the 18th minute and held off a dangerous cross in the 30th.
Rodinei has difficulty containing Vinicius Junior on the left side. The Brazilian full-back, ex-Flamengo, has already made tackles, but does not stop his compatriot’s advances.
Tzolakis was unable to prevent all three goals despite earlier saves. The Greek goalkeeper had stopped Vinicius Junior’s strong shot at the beginning of the match.
