Real Madrid moved to the top of the La Liga table earlier with a 4-1 win over Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabeu. Kylian Mbappe's performance had fans off their seats, but the return of David Alaba may have topped it.
The Austrian suffered a Cruciate ligament tear on December 18, 2023. Alaba returned to the field today, coming on for the final 20 minutes of the game, 399 days after he left the field with the injury.
