In the early morning of March 16, it only took Mbappe 6 minutes to score 2 goals against Villarreal, helping Real Madrid to an important away win in round 28 of La Liga. These goals helped Mbappe reach 31 goals in all competitions, surpassing the 30 goals of the legendary Ronaldo Nazario in the 2002/03 season. If only counting in La Liga, Mbappe has 20 goals this season.

Not stopping there, Mbappe is aiming for an even more impressive record at the Bernabeu, which is the player with the best debut season in Real Madrid history. The current record belongs to former player Ivan Zamorano, who scored 37 goals in the 1992/93 season.

Other famous strikers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy also had impressive debut seasons with 33 goals each. Goal commented that if he maintains his current form, Mbappe has the potential to break this record.

In addition, Mbappe also made history by becoming the first French player to score 30 goals in 6 consecutive seasons at club level, in the top 5 biggest leagues in Europe. This achievement not only reflects Mbappe’s individual excellence but also shows his importance in the current Real Madrid squad.

After this match, Real’s stars will return to join the national team. Mbappe will also return to the French team to participate in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals against Croatia on March 21 and 24.
