Real Madrid's resurgence begins with a 6-1 thrashing of Monaco, as Kylian Mbappé, Franco Mastantuono, and Jude Bellingham all scored in the impressive victory. The win marked a turning point for the club, coming just nine days after Xabi Alonso's sacking and six days after captain Sergio Ramos stated that they had hit rock bottom with their Copa del Rey elimination.
The team's reaction to the goals was telling, as fans finally showed their support instead of whistling at players. The atmosphere in the Bernabéu was electric, with teammates gathering around Vinícius Júnior after he scored his first goal since October and smacked home a superb strike into the top corner.
The man who had been accused before the game - Vinícius Júnior - seemed to have finally put the past behind him. Despite having stood accused for his off-field antics, the Brazilian took to social media to poke fun at critics, saying "a lot of people say a lot of things... you can cry about it or send a lawyer or you can just roll with it and enjoy it."
Mbappé also showed signs of maturity, raising his hands in prayer position after scoring his 10th Champions League goal of the season. The Frenchman had previously spoken about how he needed to ask for forgiveness for his part in Alonso's downfall, and this win marked a first public apology.
The team's unity was palpable, with Bellingham celebrating his sixth goal by raising a glass and smiling. For Vinícius, it was a rare moment of joy, as the Brazilian had been through an ordeal after storming off the pitch during the clasico in October. The shackles had finally fallen, as Bellingham put it - "he needs to feel the love."
The win marked a significant shift for Real Madrid, with fans and players alike beginning to heal from the wounds of recent controversies. As Vinícius said, something has shifted, and this victory is a testament to the team's resilience and determination.

. I mean, going from getting roasted for their Copa del Rey loss to dominating Monaco 6-1? That's some serious turnaround 
. And yeah, it's awesome to see Vinícius finally seeming like his old self again 
, after all the drama he got caught up in recently. But what really gets me is how well the team's come together 
- Mbappé scoring that prayer gesture thingy...I don't know if I'm buying it or not 
. Still, it was a sick win and all, but let's see how this momentum holds up before we start getting too carried away 
.
. Like, it feels like just yesterday we were all talking about how much of a mess the team was in after Alonso got sacked. And now suddenly everything is fixed? It's a bit too easy, if you ask me.
, but what really impresses me is how this win brings back that electric atmosphere at the Bernabéu. The fans are finally on board again, which is a huge boost for the team. But I still think we need to see some more concrete improvements from the coaching staff before I get totally convinced 
.
. Maybe he's just really matured or something? Either way, I'm happy for the guy and glad he was able to put on a show in front of us. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here – we still have a long season ahead 
.
! They just dominated Monaco 6-1 at home, and it was clear that the fans are finally back on board 
. I love how Vinicius Junior seemed to shake off the drama surrounding him, poking fun at his critics and showing he's not taking himself too seriously 
. And Kylian Mbappe, what can you say about this guy? He's just a superstar player who raises the bar every time he steps onto the pitch 
. The team's unity is palpable, and it's clear that they're all working together towards a common goal 
.
. I get that he needed to make amends with his part in Xabi Alonso's departure, and it's awesome that he's publicly apologized 
!
kylian mbappe scoring his 10th champions league goal of the season was lit 
he deserves a second chance. but seriously, the atmosphere in the bernabeu was electric and it's awesome to see the team's unity and morale lift after that tough copa del rey elimination 
. And Kylian Mbappé scoring his 10th Champions League goal of the season? He's on fire 
. The way he just took to social media and poked fun at critics? Brilliant 
! And that prayer position after scoring his goal? Maturity levels on a hundred 
! I'm loving this new Real Madrid squad 
, I was worried he'd never get back on track after that injury. And Vinícius finally seems to have moved on from all the drama 
6-1 win against monaco? insane! xabi alonso should be proud tho he gave them a fresh start 
love how vinicius took criticism in stride and mbappe showed class with that prayer position 
! It's like he's put all the drama behind him, and I am HERE. FOR. IT 
. And Jude Bellingham is just a total sweetheart for celebrating with his teammates and making everyone feel included. The atmosphere at the Bernabéu was so electric, I'm low-key jealous 
. It's clear that this team is working through some stuff but coming out stronger on the other side. 
The Brazilian's attempt to diffuse tension through social media was a clever move, as it showcased his ability to not only forgive but also laugh at the criticism he had faced.
. I'm excited to see how they'll continue to play from here on out! Maybe this marks a new era for Real Madrid?
. The Bernabéu atmosphere was electric, and I can only imagine how amazing it must've felt for the fans to finally see their team win 
just saw the most epic game between real madrid and monaco 
. Now hes celebrating his first goal in ages & it feels so good for him 
! Mbappé even did this prayer thing after scoring 10th Champions League goal of the season & it was kinda sweet 
. Bellingham is all about that unity tho 
!
.
. The atmosphere at the Bernabéu was electric, and it's great to see fans finally showing their support instead of booing their own team 
They finally showed their fans they care, and it's music to my ears 
Vinicius was overdue for some love 
. And Vinícius Júnior breaking free from his off-field troubles and taking to social media to poke fun at critics is like music to my ears 
. This win is a testament to the team's resilience & determination, let's keep this positivity going
