Real Madrid maintained their perfect start in the Champions League with an emphatic 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
Bernardo Silva and Arda Güler struck either side of halftime at the Bernabeu before late goals from Kylian Mbappé and former Leipzig star Yan Diomande wrapped up a convincing win for the Spanish giants.
Leipzig were competitive for most of the first half but were outplayed after Silva’s opener — his first goal for Madrid — after 43 minutes.

Güler poked in to double the lead and Mbappé could not be denied, claiming his 12th goal of the season after 83 minutes.
Tidiam Gomis did pull one back for the German side to make the score 3-1 but Diomande, who left Leipzig in a deal worth a potential €140 million ($189m) in the summer, had the final say with a stunning volley.
