Mbappe missed out on football's most prestigious individual accolade to Harry Kane, but he showed no signs of discontent at Campos de Sport de El Sardinero. 

Jude Bellingham also netted his 50th goal for Los Blancos in all competitions, while Yan Diomande's fine recent form continued as Madrid ran riot during a dominant first half. 

Jose Mourinho's side was awarded a penalty early on when Mbappe was felled inside the area by Matteo Prati, with the Frenchman stepping up and dispatching the resulting spot-kick past Julen Agirrezabala in the 11th minute. 

Madrid doubled its advantage 10 minutes later through Bellingham, who raced on to Arda Guler's incisive pass before rounding Agirrezabala and slotting into an empty net.

Diomande added Madrid's third nine minutes before the break. Guler's corner was only cleared as far as Diomande on the edge of the penalty area, with the Ivorian thundering a sensational strike into the roof of the net.

Mbappe almost grabbed his second on the hour mark, but his effort cannoned against the right post, with the Madrid number 10 then firing wildly over the crossbar soon after.

Racing thought it was awarded a penalty in the 72nd minute when Aurelien Tchouameni was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area, but referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero overturned his original decision after going over to the pitchside monitor. 

Bellingham was also denied his brace by the offside flag, with the England international just straying beyond the Racing defence when Brahim Diaz's deflected shot fell kindly into his path, but it mattered little as Madrid held on comfortably for the win.
