Kylian Mbappe is out due to injury. But Gonzalo Garcia is continuing the French star’s scoring streak. The Spanish striker scored a hat-trick in Real Madrid’s 5-1 win over Real Betis in La Liga today.
Garcia scored his team’s first goal in the 20th minute of the match. Real had to wait until the 50th minute to get the second goal. Garcia also scored that goal with a great volley. 6 minutes later, Raul Asensio’s goal made it 3-0 for Real.
While Real was moving towards a big victory at home, Betis equalized with a goal in the 66th minute. But Garcia completed his hat-trick by scoring the team’s fourth goal in the 82nd minute. Then, in 3 minutes of added time, Fran Garcia made it 5-1.
Real Madrid have reduced the points gap with Barcelona, who are in second place, thanks to the excellent performance of 21-year-old Garcia, who came on the field in place of Mbappe. Real Madrid, who are in second place with 14 wins and 3 draws from 19 matches, now have 45 points. Barcelona are at the top with 49 points from the same number of matches.
