23 Goals in 23 Games! Kylian Mbappé Is Matching the Pace Set by Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappé has now scored 23 goals in 23 LaLiga games, equaling Cristiano Ronaldo. The Frenchman leads Real Madrid and keeps alive the fight for the title and the Golden Boot.
Mbappé enters LaLiga’s historic elite
Kylian Mbappé scored again in Real Madrid’s victory over Valencia, reaching a milestone previously achieved only by Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Luis Suárez: 23 goals in 23 LaLiga matchdays. According to official league data, this stat establishes the Frenchman as one of the most decisive forwards in modern European football.
With this achievement, Mbappé not only keeps Real Madrid alive in the title race against Barcelona, but also strengthens his candidacy for the Golden Boot, an award seemingly within reach thanks to his outstanding performance. So far, only three players had reached this milestone in Spain, highlighting the magnitude of his season.
Consistent and lethal performance
Since joining Real Madrid, Mbappé has scored 82 goals in just over a season and a half, becoming one of the most effective debutants in the club’s history. According to club statistics, the forward has scored in 7 consecutive matches, and his scoring average places him on par with the legends who have played in Spain. This reinforces his influence in a league where every goal matters and keeps Real Madrid in the fight for the crown.
Records and historic comparisons
With his goal against Valencia, Mbappé matches greats of the white club such as Alfredo Di Stéfano, Hugo Sánchez, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who also scored 23 or more goals by this stage of the season. According to LaLiga reports, in addition to his 23 league goals, Mbappé has 38 goals and 4 assists across all competitions this season, with Vinicius his closest pursuer with 8 goals and 11 assists.
Álvaro Arbeloa and admiration for Mbappé
Coach and former player Álvaro Arbeloa publicly praised Mbappé after the victory at Mestalla: “He is a very talented player. We thought we wouldn’t see anything like Cristiano again, and it seems Mbappé is on that path.” According to Arbeloa, the French forward is shaping an era at Real Madrid, being crucial in the LaLiga title race and the club’s recent history.
With these numbers, Mbappé confirms that he is one of the most decisive footballers in Europe and a true reference for Real Madrid’s attack, keeping the team consistently in the fight for titles and records.
