Striker Kylian Mbappe continues to demonstrate his exceptional class and outstanding form by setting numerous impressive records while playing for Real Madrid.

Recently, Mbappe scored a goal in Real Madrid’s 3-1 victory over Villarreal in the 8th round of the 2025/26 La Liga season. According to Opta, the French forward became the fastest player to reach 40 goals in La Liga since Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving it in just 42 matches. This milestone took legends like Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, and Raul Gonzalez considerably longer to accomplish.

Mbappe has scored in each of the last 9 games for Real Madrid. This streak of excellent performances has made him the most efficient scorer for the Spanish giants this season. As a result, the former PSG player frequently wins Man of the Match awards in both La Liga and the Champions League.

Not only excelling domestically, Mbappe also shows impressive goal-scoring ability in European competitions. He reached 60 Champions League goals 9 matches faster than his idol Ronaldo. His brilliant form is helping Real Madrid maintain their ambitions to dominate both La Liga and the Champions League.

However, coach Xabi Alonso is worried about Mbappe’s fitness. This injury forced Alonso to substitute him with Rodrygo in the 83rd minute of the match. Although Mbappe could walk unassisted, Alonso remains concerned due to the heavy workload the 26-year-old has endured lately.

According to ESPN, Kylian Mbappe suffered a mild sprain to his right ankle. While the injury is considered minor, Alonso needs to clearly understand the recovery time to make necessary adjustments. The good news for Real is that Vinicius is currently in great form and can be a key asset for the club. Meanwhile, players like Rodrygo, Garcia, and Endrick are eager for Alonso’s attention, hoping for more playing time rather than only coming off the bench.
