In a season that’s already being hailed as one of the greatest individual campaigns in Real Madrid history, Kylian Mbappé has shattered yet another milestone—surpassing Lionel Messi’s record for most goals in a debut La Liga season. The French superstar, who joined Los Blancos in the summer of 2024, has now scored 34 goals in 28 league matches, eclipsing Messi’s 33-goal debut tally from the 2004–05 season. Mbappé’s latest strike came in a 3-1 win over Sevilla, where he also provided an assist and completed 11 successful dribbles.
Mbappé’s impact goes beyond numbers. His presence has transformed Real Madrid’s attacking philosophy, blending pace, precision, and positional fluidity. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has built the team’s offensive structure around him, allowing Mbappé to operate freely across the front line. His chemistry with Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham has created one of the most feared trios in European football.
