Piraeus, Nov 27 || French star Kylian Mbappe's four-goal haul – including the second-fastest treble in the competition's history, ensured Real Madrid sealed a narrow 4-3 victory over Olympiacos.
Real Madrid secured their fourth victory in the opening phase of the Champions League against Olympiacos at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.
Xabi Alonso's side had to come from behind after Chiquinho's early goal, but they did so thanks to a stunning performance from Mbappe, who netted a hat-trick in less than seven minutes.
In the second half, when Taremi made it 2-3, the Frenchman popped up again to slot home the fourth goal after a second assist from Vini Jr., who had a remarkable game. The Greek side did not give up, however, and in the 80th minute they made it 3-4 with a header from El Kaabi.
Mbappe grabbed his hat-trick in less than seven minutes, six minutes and 42 seconds to be precise, second fastest treble in the Champions League history, behind Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
