Mbappe breaks the longstanding Real Madrid record

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé continues to make headlines in his debut season at Real Madrid, and his latest feat has officially earned him a place in the club’s history books.

In a crucial El Clásico clash against Barcelona, the Frenchman delivered an electrifying performance, scoring a hat-trick in Real's 4-3 loss to their eternal rivals.

Despite the loss, Mbappé’s treble takes his tally to 39 goals in his debut season—breaking a long-standing Real Madrid record for most goals scored in a player's first campaign, per Bleacher Report.

The previous mark of 37 goals was held by Chilean striker Iván Zamorano and had stood unchallenged for 32 years.

Club legend Cristiano Ronaldo did not break that record in his first campaign, but Mbappé has broken it with three games still to play, offering him the opportunity to extend his lead even further.
