Kylian Mbappe continues to make headlines at Real Madrid, his recent brace against Leganes securing a thrilling 3-2 victory for Los Blancos.
Kylian Mbappe keeps making history: Equals Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut record at Bernabeu
These two goals elevate his season tally to 33, matching the debut-season record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2009/10 campaign.
Mbappe’s scoring prowess has been instrumental in Real Madrid’s current campaign. His 33 goals have come over 45 appearances, underscoring his consistency and endurance throughout the season.
This achievement places him alongside club legends; Ruud van Nistelrooy also netted 33 goals in his inaugural season (2006/07), while Brazilian icon Ronaldo scored 30 during his first year (2002/03).
The match against Leganes showcased Mbappe’s versatility and composure under pressure. He opened the scoring with a deft Panenka penalty, a testament to his confidence.
After Real Madrid fell behind, Jude Bellingham equalized, setting the stage for Mbappe’s decisive second goal—a cleverly executed free-kick that sealed the win.
Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, praised the team’s resilience and fighting spirit in overcoming the deficit.
He acknowledged the defensive challenges but highlighted the squad’s intensified effort in the second half.
Reflecting on his accomplishment, Mbappe remains grounded. He emphasizes that surpassing the goal tallies of legends like Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t equate to being better than them.
For Mbappe, the primary focus is on contributing to the team’s success and securing titles such as La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
With nine La Liga matches remaining, along with commitments in the Copa del Rey and Champions League, Mbappe is well-positioned to surpass Ivan Zamorano’s club record of 37 goals in a debut season (1992/93).
As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike will be keenly watching to see if Mbappe can etch his name atop this prestigious list, further solidifying his place in Real Madrid’s storied history
