Kylian Mbappé has been surfing on his beautiful dynamic for several weeks. This Saturday, opposite Valladolid (3-0) in Liga, the Real Madrid striker offered himself his first tripled under the Merengue jersey.

The Frenchman thus brings his counter to a total of 21 goals in 31 games in all competitions, including 15 goals in 19 league appearances. Second in the ranking of the best scorers in the Spanish elite, he seriously returns to the heels of Robert Lewandowski, leader with 16 goals.

The last performance of the tricolor captain also allowed him to reach 206 league goals in his career. This beautiful statistic makes Mbappé the seventh most prolific French scorer in history within the five major European championships, according to Football stats.

Tied with Thadée Cisowski, Mbappé now exceeds Alexandre Lacazette (205 goals). In this hierarchy dominated by Karim Benzema (281 goals), Bernard Lacombe (255 goals) and Thierry Henry (233 goals), Le Bondynois seems on the right track to make up for Hervé Revelli (216 goals), Roger Courtois (210 goals) and Michel Platini (207 goals) by the end of the season.
