Real Madrid secured a dramatic 4-3 victory over Olympiacos in their UEFA Champions League league phase game, with Kylian Mbappe delivering a performance of historic proportions. Mbappe netted a remarkable hat-trick in under seven minutes, followed by a fourth goal, to ensure Real Madrid's triumph despite a persistent challenge from the Greek side. This exceptional display further solidified Mbappe's reputation in the Champions League.

The match began with Olympiacos stunning the visiting Real Madrid side, taking an early lead in the 8th minute. Portuguese midfielder Chiquinho skillfully wove into space and unleashed a low finish past the Real Madrid goalkeeper, giving the hosts a dream start and placing immediate pressure on Los Blancos.

Real Madrid's response was both thunderous and swift, catalyzed by Mbappe. In the 22nd minute, he equalized with a calm finish into the bottom corner after a rapid break. Just two minutes later, he headed in his second goal from a precise cross delivered by Arda Guler. Mbappe completed his lightning-fast hat-trick in the 29th minute with another quick-fire finish, this time set up by Eduardo Camavinga, propelling Madrid to a 3-1 lead before halftime. This hat-trick, achieved in an astonishing 6 minutes and 42 seconds, stands as the second-fastest in Champions League history, only surpassed by Mohamed Salah's 2022 treble.

After the break, Olympiacos refused to capitulate. They clawed a goal back through Mehdi Taremi in the 52nd minute, narrowing the deficit. However, Mbappe promptly extinguished any hopes of a comeback by scoring his fourth goal of the night in the 59th minute, restoring Real Madrid's two-goal cushion. Even then, the Greek side continued to press, scoring deep into injury time when a scramble in the box allowed Ayoub El Kaabi to bundle the ball home at the back post, making the score 4-3 and setting up a frantic conclusion. Nevertheless, Real Madrid successfully weathered the late scare to seal a hard-fought victory.
