Kylian Mbappé Surpasses Ronaldo's Record, Dismisses Comparisons

Kylian Mbappé played a crucial role in Real Madrid's 2-1 victory over Villarreal on March 15, scoring both goals to elevate his tally to 31 for the season, surpassing Ronaldo Nazário's record from his debut season. With 20 goals in La Liga, he is just one behind Golden Boot leader Robert Lewandowski, as Madrid aims for multiple trophies this season, including the La Liga title, Copa del Rey, and Champions League. Despite his impressive performance, Mbappé downplays comparisons to legends like Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo, emphasizing that team success is more important than individual accolades. He stated, “Scoring goals is important, but it's only worth it if we win La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.” His focus on collective achievements and humility is seen as setting a positive example for the team as they head into the international break in a strong position.
