Kylian Mbappé continues to make history in his first season with Real Madrid. With his brace in the 2-1 victory against Villarreal, the French forward reached 31 goals, surpassing Hugo Sánchez and Davor Šuker in scoring records for debut seasons at the club. His goal tally places him among the best debut-season scorers in Real Madrid history.

Mbappé's Record-Breaking Debut Season

📌 31 goals in 43 matches, averaging 0.72 goals per game.
