Madrid dismantled Alaves with goals from Lucas Vazquez, Mbappe and Rodrygo before a late salvo from the visitors rocked Carlo Ancelotti’s side when they thought the game was won.
Carlos Protesoni and Kike Garcia scored two goals in two minutes in the final stages but Madrid held on for the victory.
Los Blancos overpowered Alaves from the start in what was a hugely uneven contest for most of the game, despite the Basque side’s solid start to the season.
Ancelotti brought Vinicius Junior back into the starting line-up and gave Vazquez a rare start and the pair combined inside the first minute to send Madrid ahead.
The Brazilian winger surged in from the left flank and cut the ball back for a simple finish from Vazquez.
