Mbappé Aims to Surpass Cristiano Ronaldo as Real Madrid’s Top Scorer This Season

Kylian Mbappé is closing in on surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s first-season goal tally at Real Madrid. With 22 goals already this season, Mbappé is on track to break the Portuguese star’s record of 33 goals in his inaugural season with the club.

Mbappé has become Real Madrid’s primary offensive threat, playing a crucial role in the team’s impressive recovery. Not long ago, Madrid trailed FC Barcelona by 9 points, but now they lead the league, 4 points ahead of Atlético Madrid and 7 ahead of Barcelona.

Expectations are high for Mbappé to break records and outdo even Ronaldo’s legendary first season. After his remarkable hat-trick against Valladolid, the Frenchman has already notched 22 goals, closing in on Ronaldo’s record.

The team was in a slump after disappointing performances in the Champions League and a loss in El Clásico, but their turnaround in Bergamo against Atalanta has coincided with Mbappé’s rise to form.

A ‘Superstar’ Reaction
Mbappé’s attacking play has been a constant source of danger, living up to the immense expectations placed on a player of his caliber. He has become the focal point of Madrid’s attack, and the team is flourishing with him at the helm.

Both coach Ancelotti and Mbappé himself were calm and confident that the Frenchman would find his best form. Despite early criticism, a mental breakthrough has allowed Mbappé to take the field with confidence and determination.

Everyone Wants Mbappé to Be the Pichichi
His teammates are fully behind him, recognizing that Mbappé is the true leader of the team. Vinicius recently said after a Champions League match that they would help Mbappé become the top scorer in all competitions, while Rodrygo affirmed that “Kylian is the striker, and he’s the one who should score the most goals.”

The reality is that Mbappé is in outstanding form as he heads into one of the most crucial parts of the season, with the Champions League and La Liga both firmly within reach. If he maintains this pace, he’s set to surpass his idol Cristiano Ronaldo in his first season at Real Madrid.
