Kylian Mbappe beats Ronaldo! Real Madrid star overtakes legendary forward with debut season tally despite rough start to life in La Liga

LaLiga

Deportivo Alaves

Real Madrid

Real Betis

Villarreal

<p>The Frenchman scored both of Madrid's goals as they came from behind to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-villarreal-kylian-mbappe-thibaut-courtois/blt475c3ea51248a8b2" target="_blank">beat Villarreal 2-1 </a>on Saturday. That was his 20th La Liga goal of the season and took his overall tally for the campaign in all competitions to 31 - one better than all-time great Ronaldo managed in 2002-03.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mbappe swapped <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-announce-signing-superstar-kylian-mbappe-from-psg/blt023bce8229a88449" target="_blank">Paris Saint-Germain for Madrid</a> last summer and initially, he was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-criticism-real-madrid-team-mate-aurelien-tchouameni-insists-doesn-t-need-advice/bltbaaeb2e3b140ba66" target="_blank">heavily criticised for his performances</a>. So to pass the legendary Ronaldo for goals scored in his first season at the club is some feat. The result on Saturday also sent Los Blancos three points clear at the top of La Liga.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Mbappe may have his sights set on having the best-ever debut season at Madrid; a record that is held by Ivan Zamorano, who scored 37 back in 1992-93. Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy were tied at 33 in second.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Mbappe, who also became the first French player in history to reach the 30-goal mark in six consecutive seasons with a club in Europe's big five leagues, will now head off on international duty for his country.</p>
