Real Madrid forward player, Kylian Mbappe is gradually taking steps to become one of the greatest players to ever wear the white jersey of the Galactios.
The French international scored a brace against Legannes which took his goal tally at the club to 33 goals, the same number of goals that Cristiano Ronaldo scored in his first season with Real Madrid. There is no doubt that Kylian Mbappe will break the record with quite several games left in the 2024/25 football season.
The former PSG player put Madrid 1-0 up from the penalty spot at the Santiago Bernabéu, but the visitors equalized a minute later through Diego Garcia. Dani Raba extended the lead of the away team by making it 2-1 to Leganes before half-time.
Jude Bellingham pulled a goal back after the break before Mbappé grabbed a second. This was his 33rd goal in all competitions so far this campaign.
What did Kylian Mbappe say about equaling Cristiano Ronaldo’s record?
He said it was a very special moment for him to achieve a milestone that not everyone could reach.
“It’s very special, The most important things are the ones you do with the team, but to score the same number of goals as Cristiano is always good. We know what Cristiano represents for Real Madrid and for me. We always talk, he gives me advice. It’s good to score goals, but as I always say, we have to win trophies here.”
22 of those goals scored by the French man have come in the league, a feat that can only be attained by legends.
