Mbappe dispels all doubts

Kylian Mbappe is clearly proving his worth at Real Madrid.

The Frenchman has not had the best start to life at the Santiago Bernabeu, but as the season enters its final stages he has become a key figure in the Spanish giants' title race. Mbappe's goals in his last two games - a brace against Villarreal and the winner against Leganes - have helped Real Madrid maintain a narrow lead over Barcelona in La Liga.

In April, Mbappe quickly established himself as a reliable attacking spearhead. He has now scored an impressive 33 goals in his first season at Real Madrid. If he continues to maintain this form, Mbappe is just three goals away from surpassing Ivan Zamorano's first-season scoring record of 36 goals for Real Madrid in the 1992/93 season.

Mbappe's start to the season hasn't always been smooth. He has faced criticism after a couple of missed penalties against Liverpool and Athletic Bilbao. However, those doubts have gradually dissipated as Mbappe has started to show his true class.

It was the French star's goals that helped Real Madrid overcome difficult challenges, maintaining hope in the race for three major titles: La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey - something no team in history, as well as coach Carlo Ancelotti, has ever done in the same season.

With his incredible scoring form in 2025, Mbappe is only slightly behind his compatriot Dembele in the European scoring race, with Dembele scoring 21 goals and Mbappe 19. However, if only counting La Liga, Mbappe is on par with Mika Biereth and Dembele with 12 goals this year.

In the days of April, Mbappe quickly asserted himself as a reliable attacking spearhead.

Mbappe is more than just a goalscorer, he is a match-winner. Real Madrid have won three games this season thanks to Mbappe alone: ​​two against Villarreal, three against Valladolid and two against Betis.

Real Madrid are currently second in La Liga with 63 points, and without Mbappe's goals they would have just 45. The former PSG man's strikes in the last two games - against Villarreal and Leganes - have helped Ancelotti's side overcome major challenges and continue to chase Barcelona in the title race.

Mbappe's first season at Real Madrid also brought another notable achievement: he was neck and neck with Lewandowski for the La Liga Golden Boot. Mbappe's performances brought back memories of legends like Di Stefano, Hugo Sánchez and Van Nistelrooy, who also had great first seasons at the club.

Despite winning six Ligue 1 titles and four French Cups, Mbappe's biggest career goal remains the Champions League. Each of his spells with PSG ended without a European trophy, despite coming close to glory during the pandemic. Joining Real Madrid was the decisive step for Mbappe to realize the European dream he has pursued throughout his career.

In the Champions League, Mbappe is preparing for a tough quarter-final against Arsenal. With seven goals in the competition, he is one goal away from breaking his personal record in European competition, having scored eight in 2020/21 and last season. Mbappe’s goal now is not only to win the Pichichi trophy in La Liga but also to lift the Champions League trophy he has always craved.

With his impressive goalscoring form and match-winning ability, Mbappe is becoming a symbol of Real Madrid. His arrival is a testament to the strong transformation of the team, as they aim for a historic goal - winning three major trophies in the same season. And with Mbappe, anything is possible.
