Defending champions Real Madrid dropped more points as their new signing, French striker Kylian Mbappe, failed to score for the third consecutive match in the Spanish Football League, drawing 1-1 with hosts Las Palmas at the end of the third round.
Real Madrid fell behind to a goal by Alberto Molero five minutes after the start of the first half, before they managed to equalize thanks to a penalty kick successfully executed by Brazilian Vinicius Junior after a handball by defender Alex Soares (69).
The men of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared weak and lacked accuracy, and fell into the trap of a draw for the second time in three matches, after they had settled for a draw with the same result against Real Mallorca in the opening match and a 3-0 victory over Valladolid in the second stage.
Real Madrid now occupies fourth place in the standings with 5 points, 4 points behind traditional rival Barcelona, who leads with a full score of 9 points from 3 wins, 2 points behind second-placed Villarreal.
Once again, the new arrival from Paris Saint-Germain, striker Mbappe, moved a lot, but without scoring in the league, as he still has to wait to open his account amid criticism from the Spanish press due to his lack of goals.
Mbappé scored his first goal for Real Madrid against Atalanta 2-0 in the European Super Cup win. Real were missing the efforts of their English midfielder Jude Bellingham, who was injured, while they have not yet been able to find a suitable replacement for the retired German midfielder Toni Kroos, so the harmony between their ranks was absent and left large spaces in their lines for the movements of the home team.
Real’s situation changed with the entry of Brazilian Rodrygo in the second half, as the attacking line became active and succeeded in achieving an equalizer after a handball by Suarez and a penalty kick by Vinicius Junior, thanks to which he opened his first goal this season.
