What if this year was the right one? More than a year after joining Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé continues to flow a lot of ink. In Spain, his difficult first steps, in opposition to the announced ambitions, had not arranged his case when he arrived.
While the tricolor international was perceived as the best player in the world, his mixed performances and his few penalty setbacks forced him to redouble their efforts. All to put yourself at the level of the old French glories passed by the Merengue club. Whether Karim Benzema, 2022 golden ball and third most titled player in the history of Real with 25 trophies, or illustrious Zinedine Zidane, legend both as a player and coach of the team.
Unfortunately for Mbappé, the past season of Real was not up to a collective point of view. For good reason, no major trophy was won by Casa Blanca. However, the Frenchman still came out well individually, evidenced by his European gold shoe won for his first season. For comparison, Vinicius Junior had to wait until his fifth season with Madrid to reach the total goals scored by Mbappé last season (44 goals). Bon bodies statistics for the future.
