European Football: Mbappé Opens Scoring Account in Real Madrid's Win Over Betis; Kane Finds the Net in Bayern Munich's Victory Over Freiburg

Here’s a revised version of the text with corrected spelling:

Kylian Mbappé opened his La Liga account on his fourth attempt, scoring twice to secure Real Madrid a 2-0 home victory over Real Betis.

Mbappé had failed to score in Madrid’s first three league matches, which led to the champions dropping points at Mallorca and Las Palmas.

However, on Sunday, it was a different story. A sublime flick from Federico Valverde set up Mbappé to score in the 67th minute. He then added a second goal from the penalty spot eight minutes later to clinch all three points at the Santiago Bernabéu. Girona also won 2-0 at Sevilla, thanks to Iván Martín’s opener in the 41st minute and a late penalty from Abel Ruiz. Getafe and Real Sociedad ended in a 0-0 draw in Madrid, while Osasuna edged out Celta Vigo in a five-goal thriller and Alavés won 2-0 at home against Las Palmas.

In the Bundesliga, Harry Kane scored his first goal of the season in Bayern Munich's 2-0 win over Freiburg. Kane converted a penalty in the 38th minute, and Thomas Müller, who came on as a substitute, added a second goal. Kane’s appearance was his 710th for Bayern, setting a new club record.

Juventus and Roma played to a 0-0 draw at Allianz Stadium, while Cesc Fàbregas' Como remain at the bottom of Serie A following a 1-0 loss to Udinese. Verona secured a 2-0 victory away at Genoa, and Robin Gosens' stoppage-time goal earned Fiorentina a 2-2 draw with Monza after they came from two goals down.

Paris Saint-Germain made it three wins from three in Ligue 1 with a 3-1 victory at Lille. Vitinha scored from the penalty spot, and three minutes later, Bradley Barcola scored a superb goal after exchanging passes with Marco Asensio. Edon Zhegrova pulled one back for Lille, but Randal Kolo Muani sealed the win with a late header. Monaco and Lens ended in a 1-1 draw, and Nice recorded a commanding 4-1 win at Angers.

As the new football season kicks off, it brings misplaced optimism, record signings destined for loan moves by January, and expensive replica shirts adorned with logos of gambling companies, online casinos, and crypto firms.

This season, 11 out of 20 Premier League teams will have betting firms as their main front-of-shirt sponsor.

You can catch every moment of the season—whether it’s wonder goals or VAR controversies through the Guardian’s football coverage. However, you won’t find any gambling ads on our website, app, newspaper, newsletters, or podcasts.

Having extensively reported on the harms of gambling addiction, the Guardian announced a worldwide ban on betting advertisements in June 2023. We remain the only major media organization to take this step.
