Mbappe is close to reaching a historic milestone.

On the evening of April 5th, Kylian Mbappe shone with a brace, helping Real Madrid win 3-2 against Celta Vigo in the 34th round of La Liga.

Kylian Mbappe had an impressive debut season for Real Madrid in terms of individual statistics.

Real Madrid history calls Mbappe's name. At the Bernabeu, the French striker scored a brace in the 40th and 48th minutes, helping "Los Blancos" overcome their tough opponent Celta Vigo.

Real Madrid were under immense pressure before this match, needing to secure three points at home at the Bernabeu to keep pace with league leaders Barcelona.

For almost the first half hour of the match, Real Madrid struggled against Celta Vigo. However, a moment of brilliance from Arda Guler changed everything.

In the 33rd minute, the Turkish star scored a spectacular goal from outside the penalty area, giving Real Madrid a 1-0 lead. From then on, the game went in favor of the home team.

In the 40th minute, Mbappe scored after a counter-attack. Then, in the 48th minute, Guler assisted Mbappe to make it 3-0. The French striker completed his brace, bringing his total goals for Real this season to 36, just one goal short of the record set by legendary Ivan Zamorano in the 1992/93 season.

Mbappe became Real's hero.

In Real Madrid's history, only Zamorano and Mbappe are the two players who have scored 35 or more goals in their first season with the Spanish capital club.

Despite unexpectedly slowing down towards the end of the match, allowing Celta Vigo to score two goals to narrow the gap, Real Madrid's focus in the final 10 minutes helped them secure the victory.

The three points gained in this match helped Real Madrid narrow the gap with Barcelona to just four points, turning the El Clasico between the two teams in La Liga's 35th round on May 11th into nothing short of a "final" of the tournament.
