That's the way to deux it

Kylian Mbappe scored twice and had an assist as Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 to end a three-match winless streak in the Spanish league on Wednesday.

Eduardo Camavinga also found the net for Madrid as it moved back within a point of Barcelona, which beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 on Tuesday.

Both 19th-round matches were moved forward because Madrid, Barcelona, Athletic and Atletico will be playing in the Spanish Super Cup in January in Saudi Arabia.

Madrid was coming off consecutive league draws at Girona, Elche and Rayo Vallecano. It was Madrid's second win in its last six matches across all competitions.

"It was important, after three away draws, to get back to winning on the road," Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said. "The team came out to play and win the match from the first minute, with good focus, intensity and rhythm. It was probably our best match this season.

"After (last weekend's) draw at Girona, we knew it was a big moment, and, after getting it out of our system, we'll start thinking about Sunday's match against Celta (Vigo).
