On an unforgettable night at the Santiago Bernabéu, French star Kylian Mbappé continued to write history with Real Madrid, equaling a long-standing record held by Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo. This achievement was more than just a statistic; it confirmed the success of Real Madrid's gamble on the "golden boy" to lead the team's attack in a new era.
A decisive brace against Sevilla
Real Madrid dominated their tough encounter against Sevilla, securing a well-deserved 2-0 victory in La Liga. English star Jude Bellingham opened the scoring, paving the way for Kylian Mbappé to add the second goal, confirming Real Madrid's superiority and strengthening their position at the top of the Spanish football scene.
A record that brings back memories of 2013
According to detailed statistics published by the global network "Squawka," Kylian Mbappé finished 2015 with 59 goals for Real Madrid. This astonishing figure puts him alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, who achieved the same goal tally in 2013, a record that until recently was considered unbreakable for a single calendar year.
This achievement is particularly significant given the short time Mbappe has spent with the team, having joined the club in the summer of 2014 from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, and quickly adapting to the atmosphere of Spanish football and the enormous pressure that comes with wearing the Real Madrid jersey.
The "Don" celebration: A message of loyalty and emulation
Not content with equaling his idol's goal tally, Mbappé also made sure to mimic Ronaldo's famous "Siuuu" celebration after scoring, a gesture that drew enthusiastic reactions from the fans. Mbappé has been known to admire the Portuguese star since childhood, with Ronaldo's pictures adorning his bedroom walls. Today, the Frenchman proves he is a worthy successor in leading Real Madrid's attack.
Expected impact and future of the Royal attack
Mbappé's current scoring rate is a strong indicator of Real Madrid's technical stability. Domestically, this brilliance enhances the team's chances of dominating titles, while in Europe, possessing such a prolific goalscorer sends a warning message to the continent's elite. This performance proves that Florentino Pérez's strategy of acquiring star players (the Galácticos) continues to bear fruit, ensuring Real Madrid's continued status as a footballing powerhouse for years to come.
