From the source
Kylian Mbappé moved on from a tumultuous week by scoring a penalty to help Real Madrid win 3-0 at Racing Santander on Sunday.
The French forward narrowly lost out on the Ballon d’Or to Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane on Monday and then had to apologise after a social media storm following a video in which he joked about the former Chinese leader Mao Zedong.
Real Madrid’s match, along with other Spanish fixtures this weekend, was not broadcast by Chinese state television because of the fallout. Jude Bellingham and Yan Diomandé were also on target to keep third-placed Madrid within three points of the La Liga leaders, Barcelona, who thrashed Alavés 6-1 on Saturday.
