Kylian Mbappé has broken the record for most goals scored in a debut season for Real Madrid, netting an impressive 39 goals. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by Iván Zamorano, who scored 37 goals in the 1992-93 campaign.
Mbappé’s incredible form has seen him score crucial goals, including a hat-trick in El Clásico against Barcelona, where he scored three goals despite his team losing 4-3.Mbappé’s 39 goals this season are spread across various competitions, including 27 in LaLiga, 7 in the Champions League, 2 in the Copa del Rey, and 1 each in the European Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup, and Intercontinental Cup.
His impressive performance has also earned him the top spot in LaLiga’s scoring charts, two goals ahead of Robert Lewandowski. With three matches left in LaLiga and potential appearances in the Club World Cup, Mbappé has opportunities to further extend his record.
The French forward’s achievement is all the more remarkable considering he’s achieved this in his debut season with Real Madrid.
Only a few players have managed to win the ‘Pichichi’ trophy in their first season, including Alfredo Di Stéfano, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Hugo Sánchez.
Mbappé’s performance has been praised by fans and critics alike, solidifying his position as a key player for Real Madrid.
Despite Real Madrid’s potential to end the season without major trophies, Carlo Ancelotti, the team’s coach, expressed satisfaction with his team’s effort in the El Clásico match. However, the loss has implications for the La Liga title race, with Barcelona now seven points ahead of Real Madrid.
Mbappé’s record-breaking season will likely be remembered for years to come, and he’ll look to continue his impressive form in the remaining matches.
