It might not have been a dream start at Real Madrid for Kylian Mbappé, but the Frenchman now stands above Cristiano Ronaldo in the club's history books.
Mbappé broke his five-game goal drought with a sublime free kick against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. The goal clawed Real Madrid back into the game, but Los Blancos went on to suffer a 3–2 defeat to their bitter rivals in extra time. Still, Mbappé now leads the team in scoring with 34 goals across all competitions and is making history along the way.
In 51 appearances, Mbappé has now scored more goals in his debut campaign for Real Madrid than Cristiano Ronaldo did in his first season in a white shirt. Ronaldo ended his debut season in Spain with 33 goals, while Mbappé already has 34 to his name with one month of the season left.
No other player since Ronaldo's debut in 2009 managed to score more goals than the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. Not until Mbappé made the move from Paris Saint-Germain to Madrid.
