Kylian Mbappé Matches Cristiano Ronaldo's Record at Real Madrid
Real Madrid is celebrating a strong week after defeating Barcelona in El Clásico, reinforcing their lead in LaLiga. Among the team's successes, Kylian Mbappé stands out for equaling a historic record held by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Eight Consecutive LaLiga Games Scoring
Mbappé scored the opening goal against Valencia from the penalty spot, becoming only the second Real Madrid player to score in eight consecutive LaLiga matches. Cristiano Ronaldo was the only other player to achieve this feat.
- Goals scored by Mbappé in matches against Real Sociedad, Levante, Atlético Madrid, Villarreal, Getafe, Barcelona, and Valencia show his remarkable 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 Builds Momentum Ahead of Champions League
The victory against Valencia not only extended Madrid’s lead in the league but also boosted confidence ahead of their important Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield Road on Tuesday. A win there could nearly guarantee Los Blancos a place in the Round of 16.
Coach Xabi Alonso opted for a bold, attacking lineup, featuring key players like Courtois, Valverde, Militão, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Arda Güler, Vinícius, and Mbappé as the lead striker.
