Agency, Jan 21:<\/strong>\u00a0Real Madrid registered a commanding victory in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night, while Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Manchester City both tasted defeat.<\/p>\n

Playing at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, Real Madrid thrashed AS Monaco 6\u20131 in a dominant display. Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 starred for the hosts with a brace, while Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior, Jude Bellingham, and Franco Mastantuono each scored one goal.

Madrid opened the scoring in the 5th minute, with Mbapp\u00e9 converting a pass from Federico Valverde. The French forward doubled the lead in the 26th minute after being set up by Vin\u00edcius Jr.<\/p>\n

The second half saw Madrid completely take control. Mastantuono made it 3\u20130 in the 51st minute, again assisted by Vin\u00edcius. Just four minutes later, Monaco defender Thilo Kehrer turned the ball into his own net, extending Madrid\u2019s lead to 4\u20130.<\/p>\n

Vin\u00edcius Jr. then got on the scoresheet himself in the 63rd minute, finishing a pass from Arda G\u00fcler. Monaco pulled one back in the 72nd minute through Jordan Teze, but any hopes of a comeback were crushed when Jude Bellingham scored Madrid\u2019s sixth goal in the 80th minute, following another assist from Valverde.<\/p>\n

With this victory, Real Madrid move up to second place in the standings with 15 points from seven matches, while Monaco remain 20th with nine points.<\/p>\n
