Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid cruised to a 5-0 victory over Champions League debutants Kairat Almaty on Tuesday.

Fresh from a 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in LaLiga, Xabi Alonso's side responded emphatically in Kazakhstan, with Mbappe leading the charge.

The French forward opened the scoring in the 25th minute from the penalty spot and doubled their lead from a quick counter early in the second half.

Mbappe completed his hat-trick in the 73rd minute with a stunning effort from the edge of the box, with Eduardo Camavinga heading in Real's fourth. Brahim Diaz added a fifth in stoppage time, pouncing on a loose ball inside the area.
