On December 14, 2025, Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory against Alaves in La Liga, easing pressure on coach Xabi Alonso. Kylian Mbappe returned from injury and scored the opening goal, followed by Rodrygo's decisive goal after Alaves equalized. The win, Real Madrid's third in nine games, reduces Barcelona's lead in the league to four points.

Mbappe's return proved pivotal, despite initial concerns about his knee, as he led the team to a much-needed win at Mendizorrotza Stadium.
