Real Madrid: Kylian Mbappé follows in Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps

Kylian Mbappé

Kylian Mbappé is unmistakably tracing the path of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.

Scoring this Saturday against Villarreal in La Liga, Kylian Mbappé can once again take pride in emulating his idol Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. By sealing the Merengues' 3-1 victory, the former PSG star has reached the milestone of 40 La Liga goals in 42 matches—matching the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo's pace. The Portuguese icon also needed just 42 games to achieve this feat.

At this rate, Mbappé is on track for an even more prolific 2025-2026 season than the last. The French international already boasts 14 goals and 2 assists in 10 matches across all competitions this season.
