Gonzalo García Fires Real Madrid to Emphatic 5–1 Victory Over Real Betis

Real Madrid delivered their most commanding performance in recent months as Gonzalo García struck a sensational hat-trick to inspire a dominant 5–1 win over Real Betis on Sunday. Despite the absence of Kylian Mbappé, Los Blancos showed no signs of hesitation, producing a fluid attacking display as they resumed La Liga action following the winter break.

Real Madrid, under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, initially took time to settle, but their growing control was rewarded through a moment of set-piece quality. With Mbappé unavailable, García led the line confidently, rising to glance home a pinpoint free-kick from Rodrygo for the opening goal. The breakthrough reflected Madrid’s territorial dominance, while Vinícius Júnior thrived with added space, stretching Betis repeatedly.

The visitors offered brief resistance before the interval, forcing two sharp interventions from Thibaut Courtois, but the second half belonged entirely to the hosts. García doubled his tally with a superb first touch and crisp volley from distance, underlining his growing confidence. Moments later, academy graduate Raúl Asencio added a third, capping a memorable afternoon for Real Madrid’s youth system.

Betis briefly threatened a comeback when Cucho Hernández struck against the run of play, yet García swiftly extinguished any hope with a deft finish to complete his hat-trick. The rout was sealed late on as Fran García arrived unmarked to score the fifth.

The result reinforces Madrid’s title credentials and highlights their attacking depth, with García becoming one of the youngest players in recent club history to net a La Liga hat-trick.
