Mbappé Has a Golden Opportunity to 'Polish' His First Season at Madrid

The Boos Mbappé Heard in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals were a wake-up call. The Frenchman left the field injured after not having played a good match. A better performance was desired from the French forward in such an important game.

It's just that only with his hat-trick against Manchester City did he seem to show his true quality. But the rest of the season has left many doubts because he hasn't been at one hundred percent. A disappointment especially because of what happened in the Champions League, which he is eager to win.

However, Mbappé can 'make up for' his first season by competing for an individual trophy. It's true that it won't be much consolation since it's the team achievements that hold more value. But Kylian can compete for the Pichichi with a Lewandowski who is injured.

It was in the match against Celta when the Polish player left the field injured, and his issue has been confirmed. Tests have shown that he has an injury in the left semitendinosus. Something that will keep him away from the field for the next 3 weeks.

Mbappé Can Catch Up in the Coming Matches Although He Won't Have Much Margin

Right now, Lewandowski leads the race for the Pichichi with 25 goals, 3 more than Mbappé has. He didn't score any against Celta, but this Sunday Kylian won't be able to close the gap. Firstly because he's injured, but he's also suspended.

Against Getafe, it remains to be seen if Mbappé can have recovered, as it would be a good option. Otherwise, he would have the first week of May against Celta as a possibility. And we'll see if Lewandowski makes it to the Clásico on the 11th in Montjuïc in La Liga.

Kylian has some important weeks ahead to try to improve the feeling of this season. He won't remember his debut at Real Madrid as the best of his career. But he can still win some more team titles and take the Pichichi, which would give him a boost.
