Real Madrid extended its perfect start to La Liga 2026-27 with a 4-0 win over Malaga at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday. Jude Bellingham opened the scoring in the 19th minute before a second strike seven minutes later was ruled an own-goal off Malaga goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero. Kylian Mbappe, fresh off a hat-trick against Real Sociedad, headed in Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross at the half-hour mark to take his tally to four goals in three matches and sit atop the scoring charts. Arda Guler completed the rout in stoppage time off a Vinicius Jr. assist. The win keeps Real Madrid top of the table with nine points from three games, while defending champion Barcelona sits fourth with a game in hand.

Real Madrid, under manager Jose Mourinho and chasing a first league title in three years, now sits three points clear at the top of La Liga with Barcelona still to play its catch-up fixture, putting early title-race pressure on the defending champion ahead of Real Madrid's September 4 trip to Real Betis.
