Kylian Mbappé was once again the savior of Real Madrid this afternoon. Indeed, against Rayo Vallecano (2-1), the French striker scored the winning goal at the end of added time (90+10). Thanks to this penalty, following a big mistake committed by Nobel Mendy, the Madrid striker became the top scorer with a Top 5 European club in official competition this season (37 goals), ahead of Harry Kane at Bayern Munich (36 goals). However, this ever more admiring statistic hides a second, even crazier one.
This season, the French player has scored 32% of his goals with Real Madrid in official competition from the penalty spot (12 out of 37). Figures that say a lot about the number of fouls won by the Merengues in the opposing penalty area. Upset and in doubt for a long time against Rayo, it was the French star’s teammates who obtained three precious points in their lair in La Liga.
