<p>Mbappe had struggled in La Liga after scoring on his Real Madrid debut against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup. The Frenchman failed to score in his first three league games as Los Blancos' attack failed to live up to the early hype. However, the former Paris Saint-Germain forward finally broke his duck after getting on the end of a brilliant backheel from Federico Valverde and slotting past Real Betis goalkeeper Rui Silva.</p>
