Kylian Mbappé Matches Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid Record
Real Madrid is celebrating a remarkable week after their victory against Barcelona in El Clásico, strengthening their lead in LaLiga. Amid the team's success, Kylian Mbappé stands out by equaling a historic record held by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Eight Consecutive LaLiga Games Scoring
Mbappé scored the opener from a penalty against Valencia, becoming only the second Real Madrid player to score in eight straight league matches. Cristiano Ronaldo remains the only other to have achieved this feat.
- Goals scored against: Real Sociedad, Levante, Atlético Madrid, Villarreal, Getafe, Barcelona, and Valencia.
“He’s scored, he’s scoring, and he’ll keep scoring. His influence on the team is enormous, and he’s handling it with great maturity. We just have to support him so he continues this way,” said manager Xabi Alonso.
Building Momentum Ahead of Champions League
The recent win not only increased Madrid’s LaLiga lead but also boosted team morale ahead of the vital Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield.
A victory there would nearly secure their place in the Round of 16.
Alonso selected a daring, offensive lineup featuring Courtois, Valverde, Militão, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Arda Güler, Vinícius, and Mbappé upfront.
Summary: Kylian Mbappé’s scoring streak matches Cristiano Ronaldo’s record, underscoring his critical role in Real Madrid’s thriving season and upcoming Champions League challenge.
