Real Madrid earned a comfortable 3-0 win over Brest to advance to the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men made light work of Brest and the result moved them to 11th in the Champions League standings, meaning they will be seeded for the knockout phase play-offs.
A Brace from Rodrygo and a Jude Bellingham goal secured the win for Los Blancos.
The game started in a frantic pace and Kylian Mbappe, who was looking to extend his 4-game goal-scoring streak, had good opportunities early on but failed to capitalize
.In contrast, Rodrygo seemed fired up and after forcing a spectacular save from the Brest goalkeeper, he scored a superb goal from a tight angle to break the deadlock.
Despite creating several scoring chances, Brest were unable to find a way back into the game.
Mama Balde squandered a prime opportunity in the 37th minute, and Ludovic Ajouque’s would-be equalizer was disallowed due to offside
.Jude Bellingham effectively sealed the outcome with a well-placed finish in the 56th minute, and Rodrygo’s second goal in the 78th minute added gloss to a fine performance.
