Kylian Mbappe was elated after breaking the duck in Real Madrid's victory over Real Betis.

Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe admitted that he is judged differently from other players, and he expressed relief at finally opening his LALIGA account. 

Los Blancos managed only one win in their first three LALIGA games, and their marquee signing, Mbappe, was in a goalscoring rut. The poor run has now ended, and he scored twice to help Carlo Ancelotti's side beat Real Betis. 

Mbappe shines against Betis 

Real Madrid dominated the first half but struggled to break the deadlock, and they seemed headed for another disappointing result.

Mbappe intervened, however, first scoring in the 67th minute when he was released into space behind the Real Betis backline thanks to a backheel pass from Federico Valverde. 

He doubled his tally in the 75th minute from the penalty spot after Vinicius was brought down in the box by Real Betis goalkeeper Rui Silva. 

What Mbappe said 

Speaking after the match, Mbappe had the following to say about finally breaking the duck. 

“I was hoping to score in this legendary stadium, the best in the world,"  as per reports from Marca.

“Three games is not a lot for other players, but for me, it’s a lot. The club and fans have been with me; they give me the confidence to give everything.”
