Kylian Mbappé is off to an electrifying start this season, dazzling fans and critics alike with his performance for Real Madrid. The French forward has propelled his team to nine victories out of ten matches across La Liga and the Champions League, scoring an astounding 14 goals in the process. This remarkable feat averages out to 1.4 goals per match, a level of efficiency that hasn’t been seen at the club since the days of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Delving into the annals of Real Madrid history, one must go back to the 1946-47 season to find a player matching Mbappé’s early-season scoring spree. Prudencio Sánchez Hernández, known as Pruden, also netted 14 goals in his first ten games. However, the team’s overall performance during that era was less dominant, with five wins, three draws, and two losses, ultimately leading to a seventh-place finish.
Mbappé Equals Puskas’ Historic Record
Not only has Mbappé matched Pruden’s record, but he has also equaled the legendary Ferenc Puskas by scoring in nine out of ten matches this season. This consistency places him among an elite group of players who have left a significant mark on the club’s storied history. The only player outperforming him on the international stage is Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane, who has netted 18 goals in ten matches.
Comparisons with Harry Kane
The English striker has been instrumental in Bayern’s perfect start to their campaign. Kane’s tally includes six penalties, while Mbappé has converted five from the spot. When it comes to shot accuracy, Kane edges out with 60% of his shots on target compared to Mbappé’s 56%. Additionally, Kane converts half of his total attempts while Mbappé succeeds in one-third. As both players continue their impressive runs, fans are left wondering if they can maintain this extraordinary form throughout the season.
The upcoming fixtures for Real Madrid after the international break include clashes against Getafe on October 19th, Juventus on October 22nd, and a highly anticipated face-off with FC Barcelona on October 26th. These matches will undoubtedly test Mbappé’s ability to sustain his record-breaking momentum.
