One, two, three. And a total of 38. That is the number of goals Kylian Mbappé has already raised this season, his first as a Real Madrid player. This is a historical performance because the French striker has surpassed a goal in his debut campaign with Los Blancos with his goals in his goal in his debut campaign with Los Blancos who only had one precedent) with his debut campaigns with Los Blancos which had only one precedent).
Where will that limit ultimately be set? Mbappé has plenty of the opportunity to raise the bar even higher. He has three remaining league matches and a club World Cup where he could potentially play up to seven matches. It is still a long way forward, with enough room for the real Madrid striker to threaten his own goal-cutting roof. He reached the roof last season, when he left PSG with 44 goals in 51 matches.
Join the elite company
With its three goals against Celta, Mbappé not only surpasses Zamorano but also to join other remarkable figures. Of the 38 goals, 26 are already in the league. This puts him on par with Robert Lewandowski in the race for Pichichi Trophy (awarded La Liga’s top scorer).
Getting to Madrid and ending the season with Pichichi is more complicated than it seems. By Madrid’s three historic top -wounds – Cristiano Ronaldo (450 goals, 311 in La Liga), Benzema (354/238) and Raúl (323/228) – No one managed to do it. And of the top ten, only Di Stéfano and Hugo Sánchez ended up as a top harvester during their first season with Los Blancos.
Rare Performance: Pichichi in the debut season
Landing on Madrid and ends the season as a top score is something that Only three players, three goal -complex monsters, have achieved. In the summer of 1953, Alfredo di Stéfano arrived in Real Madrid to change the club’s history, Spanish football and the world. Saeta Rubia (“Blonda Arrow”) was the first player to win Pichichi in his debut with Madrid. That season he scored 27 goals in 28 matches to become crowned top scores in La Liga, something he would achieve on a total of five occasions.

Hugo Sánchez and van Nistelrooy repeat history
It was not repeated until 1986. Then Ramón Mendoza presented his mandate with one stroke: Hugo Sánchez, who arrived at Bernabéu from Atlético de Madrid with the phone card to be the big goal core for the previous season. He was four more times with Madrid, including his first season.
The last one that achieved it was Ruud van Nistelrooy. During 2006-07, under Fabio Capello, the Dutch scored 25 goals in La Liga to lead Madrid to the title. In these three cases, the league title came hand in hand with the Pichichi trophy. Mbappé is on its way not only to cement its place in the Real Madrid history but also replicating an achievement achieved by some of the game’s most legendary goalkeeper. His debut season on Bernabéu turns out to be nothing but spectacular, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how high he will set the goal -noting standard in the coming seasons.
