Kylian Mbappe surpasses one of Cristiano Ronaldo's records at Real Madrid

Despite having a difficult start at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe has already settled in, as seen by his first hat-trick in Saturday night’s 3-0 triumph over Real Valladolid. He has also netted 12 goals in his last 12 matches across all competitions. This hat-trick positions him only two goals shy of Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski in the race for the Pichichi Trophy.

Mbappe has scored 22 goals in 32 matches overall, prompting comparisons to his idol Cristiano Ronaldo's inaugural season at Real Madrid. The illustrious Portuguese forward played in only 35 games during his debut season because of injuries, concluding with a total of 32 goals.

While it may prove challenging for him to match the goals-to-game ratio established by the Real Madrid legend during the 2009–10 season, Mbappe is determined to score 11 additional goals to exceed Ronaldo's record. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old has already surpassed one of his notable achievements.

As reported by Diario AS, Kylian Mbappe's hat-trick against Valladolid took place during his 19th appearance in LaLiga, positioning him as the fourth-fastest player in Real Madrid's history to reach this milestone. He follows Emmanuel Adebayor, who achieved it in 14 games, Gareth Bale in 9 games, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who accomplished the feat in just two matches. In comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo netted his first league treble for Los Blancos in his 27th appearance.

Currently, Mbappe seems to be performing at the height of his abilities, and Real Madrid is delighted to have him on their roster. Earlier this week, he was made aware that his prospects with the club have changed due to a transformation in his mentality during his first season.

Mbappe is undoubtedly considered one of the top players globally at this moment and seems to be among the elite. If he and Real Madrid can sustain this level of performance throughout the remainder of the season, further success is certainly on the horizon.

He has demonstrated his ability to make a substantial impact, and given his current scoring pace, it is only a matter of time before he begins to shatter numerous records at the club.
