Mbappé's 2 records after his hat-trick in El Clásico, 1 of them very bitter

Despite the tough defeat, Kylian Mbappé scored three goals and kept Real Madrid alive

Kylian Mbappé already has 39 goals so far this season, his first wearing the Real Madrid jersey. This figure is not only impressive but also marks a historic milestone: after his hat-trick against Barcelona, the French forward surpasses Iván Zamorano's record.

The legendary forward scored 37 goals in 45 matches during the 1992-93 campaign, with an average of 0.82 goals per game. With this feat, Kylian Mbappé becomes the highest-scoring debutant in the history of the Madrid team.

he has room to surpass his own mark

Kylian Mbappé still has room to further elevate his mark. He has three commitments left in LaLiga and the possibility of playing up to seven matches in the Club World Cup. A schedule broad enough for the Real Madrid forward to attempt to surpass his own personal record.

The Frenchman closed last season with 44 goals in 51 matches with Paris Saint-Germain. Those numbers could be surpassed in his first season as a Real Madrid player.

shocking close to the 'Pichichi' trophy

With his hat-trick against Barça, Mbappé not only matches Zamorano's record but also reaches another prominent name: Robert Lewandowski. Of all the goals he has, 28 have been in LaLiga, placing him at the top for the 'Pichichi'.

It is not easy to arrive at Real Madrid and finish the first season as the top scorer of the championship. In fact, neither Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, nor Raúl—the three top historical scorers of the club—achieved it. Among the ten most important scorers in the club's history, only Di Stéfano and Hugo Sánchez managed to win the trophy in their first season.

Landing in Madrid and ending the season as the top scorer is something only three players, three goal monsters, have achieved. We are talking about Alfredo Di Stéfano, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Hugo Sánchez.Now, Kylian Mbappé has surpassed all records in a season that will not be fondly remembered by Madridists.
