Kylian Mbappé Equals Cristiano Ronaldo's Record at Real Madrid
Real Madrid is celebrating one of its best weeks this season after beating Barcelona in El Clásico and strengthening its lead in LaLiga. Amid the team's success, Kylian Mbappé has grabbed the spotlight by tying a historic record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Eight Consecutive LaLiga Games Scoring
Mbappé scored first against Valencia from a penalty, becoming only the second Real Madrid player to score in eight straight LaLiga matches, a milestone previously held exclusively by Cristiano Ronaldo.
- Goals scored by Mbappé include matches against Real Sociedad, Levante, Atlético Madrid, Villarreal, Getafe, Barcelona, and Valencia, demonstrating his outstanding form and consistency.
“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.
Madrid Gaining Momentum Ahead of Liverpool
The win against Valencia not only increased Madrid’s lead but also boosted morale ahead of their important Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield Road this Tuesday. A win there would virtually guarantee Real Madrid a place in the Round of 16.
Coach Xabi Alonso selected an aggressive, attack-focused lineup featuring Courtois, Valverde, Militão, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Arda Güler, Vinícius, and Mbappé.
