Kylian Mbappe is clearly proving his worth at Real Madrid.

The Frenchman has not had the best start to life at the Santiago Bernabeu, but now, as the season enters its final stages, he has become a key figure in the Spanish giants' title race. Mbappe's goals in his last two games - a brace against Villarreal and the winner against Leganes - have helped Real Madrid maintain a narrow lead over Barcelona in La Liga.

In the days of April, Mbappe quickly established himself as a reliable attacking spearhead. To date, he has scored a total of 33 goals in his first season at Real Madrid, an impressive number. If he continues to maintain this form, Mbappe is only three goals away from surpassing Ivan Zamorano's first season scoring record, who scored 36 goals for Real Madrid in the 1992/93 season.

Mbappe’s start to the season hasn’t always been smooth, with criticism following a couple of missed penalties against Liverpool and Athletic Bilbao. However, those doubts have faded as Mbappe has started to show his true class.

It was the French star's goals that helped Real Madrid overcome difficult challenges, maintaining hope in the race for three major titles: La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey - something no team in history, as well as coach Carlo Ancelotti, has ever done in the same season.

With his incredible scoring form in 2025, Mbappe is just behind his compatriot Dembele in the European scoring race, with Dembele scoring 21 goals and Mbappe 19. However, if only counting La Liga, Mbappe is on par with Mika Biereth and Dembele with 12 goals this year.

In the days of April, Mbappe quickly asserted himself as a reliable attacking spearhead.

Mbappe is more than just a goalscorer, he is a match-winner. Real Madrid have won three games this season thanks to Mbappe alone: ​​two against Villarreal, three against Valladolid and two against Betis.

With 63 points, Real Madrid are currently second in La Liga, and without Mbappe's goals they would have just 45. The former PSG star's strikes in the last two games - against Villarreal and Leganes - have helped Ancelotti's side overcome major challenges and continue to chase Barcelona in the title race.

Mbappe’s first season at Real Madrid also brought another notable achievement: he was neck and neck with Lewandowski for the La Liga Golden Boot. Mbappe’s performances brought back memories of legends like Di Stefano, Hugo Sánchez and Van Nistelrooy, who all had great first seasons at the club.

Despite winning six Ligue 1 titles and four French Cups, Mbappe's biggest career goal remains the Champions League. Each of his attempts with PSG ended without a European trophy, despite coming close to glory during the pandemic season. Joining Real Madrid was the decisive step for Mbappe to realize the European dream he has pursued throughout his career.

In the Champions League, Mbappe is preparing for a challenging quarter-final against Arsenal. With seven goals in the competition, he is just one goal away from breaking his personal record in European competition, having scored eight in the 2020/21 and last season. Mbappe's goal now is not only to win the Pichichi trophy in La Liga but also to lift the Champions League trophy he has always wanted.

With his impressive goalscoring form and ability to decide matches, Mbappe is becoming a symbol of Real Madrid. His arrival is a testament to the strong transformation of the team, as they aim for a historic goal - winning three major trophies in the same season. And with Mbappe, anything is possible.
