Kylian Mbappé has emerged as the decisive force for Real Madrid, especially evident in their recent clash against Getafe. Despite a lackluster performance for much of the match, it was the introduction of Arda Güler that turned the tide. Güler provided a brilliant assist to Mbappé, who scored his fifteenth goal of the season, marking his tenth in just nine La Liga games. This stellar start to the season is unprecedented for the former Paris Saint-Germain star, who is now among Europe’s elite scorers.
With 15 goals in 11 matches, Mbappé has set a new personal record, surpassing his previous best of 13 goals in the same number of games during the 2018-2019 season at PSG. Back then, he accounted for 35.1% of his team’s goals; this season, he has contributed an astounding 55.6% of Real Madrid’s total with 15 out of 27 goals, as reported by MARCA. This remarkable performance places him firmly in the spotlight as one of the most prolific forwards in Europe.
Mbappé’s Evolution into a Leader
Last season, at this stage, Mbappé had netted only seven goals, ultimately finishing with 44 and earning titles like Pichichi and Golden Shoe. This year, however, he has already doubled that tally early on. Among his contemporaries, only Harry Kane has outperformed him this season with 19 goals in eleven matches. Just behind Mbappé is Erling Haaland, who has scored 14 goals in ten appearances.
While not the top scorer in Europe yet, Mbappé undeniably holds that title at Real Madrid. The club has finally found a world-class striker to fill the void left by Karim Benzema‘s departure. With ten goals in La Liga from just nine matches, he boasts the best record for Los Blancos since Cristiano Ronaldo‘s era in the 2014-2015 season when Ronaldo also scored 17 goals in similar circumstances.
A New Chapter Under Xabi Alonso
After a challenging first year with the club—marked by personal struggles—Mbappé has now become an integral part of Real Madrid’s attacking strategy. Under coach Xabi Alonso’s guidance, he appears revitalized and more effective than ever before. The French forward’s ability to influence matches and secure victories for his team is becoming increasingly evident.
As he continues to find his rhythm and build on this impressive form, one must ask: Can Kylian Mbappé maintain this extraordinary pace throughout the season? With each match, he solidifies his status as a key player for Real Madrid and a potential game-changer in their quest for glory.
