Kylian Mbappé already only needs 7 goals to break the record for the first most prolific season of a Real Madrid player. Ivan Zamorano, the leaping Chilean striker, scored 37 goals in the 1992-1993 season. After his double this Saturday during the victory (1-2) of the Merengues on the lawn of Villarreal, on behalf of the 28th day of Liga, the French is at 31 achievements in all competitions and continues to carry out a first convincing exercise.
There are 10 days of the championship, at least two Champions League matches, during the opposition with Arsenal, and a minimum meeting in the King’s Cup, where the Madrid must play their semi-final return against Real Sociedad on April 1. It could be more than enough for the former scorer of Paris Saint-Germain. Saturday, therefore, against the yellow submarine, the captain of the French team only needed 7 minutes to make the powder speak twice.
Mbappé deprived of tripled and angry
While the Argentinian Juan Foyth had opened the scoring quickly (1-0, 7th) to launch this shock from the top 5, Kylian Mbappé activated the unstoppable mode on two strikes placed (17th and 23rd) to put Real Madrid on orbit.
We still saw the ex-monegasque displaying his frustration with large gestures at the end of the game, when his young teammate Arda Güler chose the personal option rather than a backward pass to offer him a hat-trick on a tray. Real Madrid temporarily takes three points ahead of Barça at the top of the Liga, but with two more matches than the Catalans.
