Kylian Mbappe equals Cristiano Ronaldo's LaLiga record for Real Madrid

Mbappe has been in terrific form this season at Madrid.
Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid has been a declaration of his supremacy. The French sensation has exceeded everyone’s expectations, demonstrating why many believe he is the one of the best in world football that once was Cristiano Ronaldo.
His most recent accomplishment solidifies that legacy: in just 42 games, Mbappé became the fastest player since Ronaldo to rack up 40 goals in LaLiga.
Cristiano Ronaldo made an instant impression when he put on the Real Madrid jersey for the first time in 2009. In 42 LaLiga games, he scored 40 goals, setting a record that had not been broken for over ten years.
Kylian Mbappé has now matched that incredible accomplishment, solidifying his status as one of the most effective goal scorers in contemporary football.
Kylian Mbappe stuns fans with his goal-scoring exploits this season

With 40 goals in 42 league games and an average of 0.95 goals per game, Mbappé’s stats are astounding. This indicates that almost every time the Frenchman takes the field, he finds the net.
He has dominated defenders in Spain, just like he did in France. All because of his combination of explosive speed, technical accuracy, and poise in front of goal.
Beyond the numbers, though, this record highlights Mbappé’s versatility, maturity, and mental toughness. The expectations were extremely high, and he was the centre of attention. But instead of crumbling under the strain, the 26-year-old has flourished, turning criticism into motivation.
Speed and counterattacks aren’t the only components of Mbappé’s game. He is one of the most complete forwards in the world because of his ability to finish from a distance, convert penalties, and create scoring opportunities through complex link-up play.
At Real Madrid, he has adapted to Xabi Alonso’s style with ease, changing his runs and positioning to take advantage of even the smallest gaps in opposition defences.
