Kylian Mbappe scored twice against Leganes in La Liga, bringing his total goals for Real Madrid to 33.
This matches the number of goals Cristiano Ronaldo scored in his first season (2009-2010).
Mbappe scored goals in 44 appearances across all competitions, just like Ronaldo’s first season.
Mbappe had previously broken the record of Brazil’s Ronaldo Nazario, who scored 30 goals in the 2002-03 season.
Ronaldo, who joined Real Madrid from Manchester United, went on to become the club’s all-time top scorer with 450 goals.
In the game against Leganes, Mbappe scored:
- A Panenka penalty to open the scoring.
- A free-kick to help complete Madrid’s 3-2 comeback win.
The win moved Real Madrid level with Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Mbappe’s performance, noting that he has been more active and impactful recently.
Ancelotti also believes that Mbappe has the potential to match Ronaldo’s legacy at Real Madrid with hard work.
