Mbappé’s First Goal in the Madrid Derby
Kylian Mbappé continues his excellent form with Real Madrid and scored his first goal in the Madrid derby, a goal with a touch of luck but showcasing his great positioning to equalize the score.
Great players show up in key moments, and Mbappé did just that. After a shot from Jude Bellingham that hit the defense, the rebound fell to the Frenchman, who took advantage of his positioning in the opponent’s area to slot the ball into the net.
With this goal, not only did he equalize the score in the derby, but he also reached 16 goals in La Liga, closing the gap in the race for the Pichichi. He is now just three goals behind Robert Lewandowski, the current top scorer for FC Barcelona.
