After four consecutive losses against FC Barcelona, Real Madrid rediscovered the taste of victory against its eternal rival (2-1) this Sunday in La Liga. At the end of a lively Clasico at the Bernabéu, the Spanish vice-champion won thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, while Fermin López scored the only goal for the visitors.
The captain of the Blues even came close to a double, on a penalty awarded after a handball from Eric García at the start of the second half. But Mbappé's shot was saved by Wojciech Szczęsny, depriving the Merengue number 10 of his 17th goal in all competitions this season.
Benzema and Lacombe in the viewfinder
According to Football StatsMbappé came very close to overtaking his elder Thierry Henry in the ranking of the best French scorers in history in the five major European championships. The former Parisian has only equaled the Gunners legend's 233 goals. Just that.
If it is only a matter of time before Mbappé overtakes the 1998 world champion, he will still have to wait to climb onto the second and then the first step. For now, the podium remains dominated by Bernard Lacombe (255 goals) and Karim Benzema (281 goals).
