Kylian Mbappe was unstoppable as he scored four goals, including the second-fastest hat-trick in Champions League history, to lead Real Madrid to a thrilling 4-3 comeback win over Olympiacos. Mbappe's incredible performance turned the game around, with his goals coming in just six minutes and 42 seconds, making it the second-fastest treble in the competition's history, behind only Mohamed Salah's record.

Olympiacos had taken an early lead through Chiquinho's 20-yard strike, but Mbappe equalized in the 22nd minute with a cool finish past goalkeeper Kostas Tzolakis. He then scored again two minutes later with a header from Arda Guler's cross, before completing his hat-trick with a low finish in the 29th minute. Mbappe's fourth goal came in the 60th minute, securing Real Madrid's first win in Greece in 10 attempts.

Despite a strong comeback from Olympiacos, with Mehdi Taremi and Ayoub El Kaabi scoring, Real Madrid held on to secure a crucial win. The victory moves Real Madrid up to fifth in the standings, with Mbappe now leading the scoring charts with nine goals in five Champions League matches.

Olympiacos took the lead out of nowhere, with a slick passing move involving Daniel Podence, Ayoub El Kaabi, and Chiquinho ending with Chiquinho firing a low drive past Andriy Lunin. However, Lunin made a magnificent full-length save to deny the goalscorer, keeping the game alive.

As the half progressed, Kylian Mbappe was left in acres of space and drilled home the equaliser. The game was on fire, with both teams creating chances and threatening to take the lead.

Mbappe was on fire, scoring his second goal just two minutes after the equaliser, powering home a header from Arda Guler's cross to stun the hosts. The hat-trick hero then completed his treble in just seven minutes, beating Olympiacos' offside trap to score the second-fastest hat-trick in UCL history.

Vinicius Jr. also got in on the action, burying a sumptuous effort past Tzolakis, but unfortunately, it was ruled out due to Mbappe's offside position in the build-up. The game was an absolute thriller, with Real Madrid creating chance after chance.

Olympiacos were pushing hard, and Aurelien Tchouameni tried his luck, but his effort hit the crossbar. Andriy Lunin made a crucial save before halftime, brilliantly denying Ayoub El Kaabi, giving Real Madrid a much-needed breather.
