There were ups and downs. But the first season of Kylian Mbappé in Real Madrid will remain in the history of the Spanish club. No one has scored as much as him for his first year with the legendary white jersey.
Until now, the record belonged to Ivan Zamorano. The Chilean striker had found the fault 37 times with the Merengues, in 1992-1993, just after his arrival from Sevilla FC. Kylian Mbappé has now done better.
Le Bondynois struck hard in the first minutes of the Clasico on the lawn of FC Barcelona. First a goal on a penalty he had obtained himself (0-1, 5th), then a double on a counter, on a pass from the outside of Vinicius Jr (0-2, 14th).
Mbappé is better than Ronaldo
By way of comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo had scored 26 goals in Liga and 7 in the Champions League for his first season in Real Madrid, for 33 goals all competitions. Kylian Mbappé is now at 38 goals, including 26 in Liga also, after this double.
With these 26 goals, the Frenchman temporarily seizes the head of the championship scorer ranking, at the time of these lines. Robert Lewandowski, 25 goals on the clock, is on the bench for this clasico.
