Mega-signing Kylian Mbappé remains scoreless in the Spanish league for Real Madrid as the defending champions were compelled to settle for a 1-1 draw at Las Palmas.
Mbappé, Madrid’s biggest signing in years, has only scored for the Spanish juggernauts in the team’s UEFA Super Cup victory against Atalanta earlier this month.
It was again the redoubtable Vinicius Junior who scored for Madrid, who beat Valladolid 3-0 in the previous round but opened their title defence with a 1-1 draw at Mallorca.
Vinicius found the net on Thursday for his first league goal this season by converting a 69th-minute penalty kick after a handball inside the area.
The hosts had taken the lead five minutes into the match after Alberto Moleiro got past a couple of defenders before finding the net from inside the area.
Barcelona on Tuesday became the only team with three wins from the first three rounds after a 2-1 victory at Rayo Vallecano.
