LaLiga: Mbappe equals Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal tally at Real Madrid

Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe, has equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal tally in his debut season at the club.

Mbappe netted twice as Los Blancos recorded a 3-2 comeback win over Leganes on Saturday.

His penalty in the penalty put Madrid 1-0 up at the Santiago Bernabéu, but the visitors equalized a minute later through Diego Garcia.

Dani Raba then made it 2-1 to Leganes before half-time.

Jude Bellingham pulled a goal back after the break before Mbappé grabbed a second. It was his 33rd goal in all competitions so far this campaign.

Only Chilean striker Iván Zamorano (37) has now scored more in his first season for the Spanish giants.

“It’s very special,” Mbappé told Real Madrid TV.

“The most important things are the ones you do with the team, but to score the same number of goals as Cristiano is always good. We know what Cristiano represents for Real Madrid and for me.

“We always talk, he gives me advice. It’s good to score goals, but as I always say, we have to win trophies here.”

Mbappé’s 33 goals – 22 of which have come in the league – have been scored in just 45 games.
