- 5:12Güler creates the opening for Bellingham to score Madrid's second.
- 7:01Diomande meets a corner sequence with a powerful volley.
- 12:56Mbappé strikes the woodwork from close range.
- 15:56A potential Racing penalty prompts a VAR review; the referee's decision comes at 17:33.
Kylian Mbappé opens the scoring from the penalty spot, but Real Madrid's next two goals give these highlights their contrasting textures: an opening crafted by Arda Güler for Jude Bellingham, then a powerful Yan Diomande volley following a corner.
All the scoring comes before halftime in Madrid's 3-0 win at Racing Santander. ESPN FC's highlights have drawn about 430,000 views in ten hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full first day for regular videos.
Güler and Diomande are also recurring subjects in the comments. Viewers pick out Güler's vision and precision, with one comparing his creative style to Mesut Özil's. Others ask whether Diomande has earned another place in the starting lineup. The comment section is already several times busier than an ordinary first day on the channel.
The second half brings chances without another goal. Mbappé hits the woodwork, while Racing's hopes of a penalty lead to a pitchside review and a no-penalty decision. For readers looking for the attacking sequence behind the discussion, Güler's contribution arrives just over five minutes into the upload, followed shortly by Diomande's volley.
