Kylian Mbappe has written a new chapter in La Liga history, becoming the first player since Lionel Messi to score 30 goals in a season.
The French superstar fired Real Madrid to a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad with a clinical brace that lit up Santiago Bernabeu.
His first came in the 38th minute when he followed up his saved penalty to slot home the rebound. He then doubled the lead with a sharp finish just seven minutes from the final whistle.
The goals didn’t just seal the win, they carved Mbappe’s name into Real Madrid folklore. He is now the first player to net more than 30 goals in his debut La Liga season for the club, joining a rare group that includes legends like Prudencio Sánchez (Pruden), Romario, and Ronaldo Nazario.
Mbappe’s explosive form also makes him the frontrunner for the Pichichi Trophy, sitting ahead of Robert Lewandowski, who trails with 25 goals. The last Madrid player to hit 30 was Cristiano Ronaldo in 2014–15. Now, it’s Kylian Mbappe’s moment.
