Real Madrid is enjoying one of its best weeks of the season after defeating Barcelona in El Clásico and solidifying its lead at the top of LaLiga. Yet, beyond the team’s collective success, one name once again dominates the headlines — Kylian Mbappé, who has just matched a historic record held by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Eight Straight League Games on the Scoresheet

The French superstar opened the scoring against Valencia from the penalty spot, becoming only the second player in Real Madrid’s history to score in eight consecutive LaLiga matches — a feat previously achieved solely by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mbappé’s streak includes goals against Real Sociedad, Levante, Atlético Madrid, Villarreal, Getafe, Barcelona, and now Valencia, underlining his incredible form and consistency.

“He’s scored, he’s scoring, and he’ll keep scoring. His influence on the team is enormous, and he’s handling it with great maturity. We just have to support him so he continues this way,” said manager Xabi Alonso, acknowledging his forward’s brilliant run.

Madrid Hitting Form Before Anfield

The win over Valencia did more than just extend Madrid’s lead — it boosted confidence ahead of their crucial Champions League clash with Liverpool at Anfield Road this Tuesday. A victory in England could all but secure Los Blancos’ spot in the Round of 16.

Alonso fielded a bold, attack-minded lineup featuring Courtois, Valverde, Militão, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Arda Güler, Vinícius, and Mbappé leading the line. Once again, the Frenchman rose to the occasion, proving decisive for a team that seems to have hit its stride at the perfect moment.

A New Era Written in Records

Since his arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu, Mbappé has embraced the weight of expectations, stepping into the shoes of Madrid legends with remarkable ease. Matching Cristiano’s record so early in his tenure highlights just how quickly he’s adapted — and how high his ceiling truly is.

With Barcelona now eight points behind and a European showdown looming, Real Madrid faces a defining stretch of the season. But with Mbappé already operating in legend mode, everything feels possible once again at the Bernabéu.
