Madrid, May 15 (V7N) – French superstar Kylian Mbappe has smashed a seven-decade-old La Liga record, surpassing Alfredo Di Stefano’s mark of 27 goals set during the 1953–54 season. Mbappe netted his 28th league goal of the season in Real Madrid’s match against Mallorca on Wednesday (May 14), marking a historic milestone in his debut La Liga campaign.

Despite early criticism that both Mbappe and Real Madrid had endured a "bad season," the numbers tell a different story. The 25-year-old forward has now scored 40 goals across all competitions — a feat that legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Ruud van Nistelrooy did not accomplish in their first seasons at the Spanish club.

Mbappe’s scoring spree has reignited excitement at the Santiago Bernabéu, and with several matches still remaining this season, he has a chance to further cement his legacy and set new benchmarks in Spanish football.

Remarkably, neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo, despite their legendary status in La Liga, managed to break Di Stefano’s debut season record — making Mbappe’s achievement even more significant.

Mbappe's Scoring Stats – Last 5 Seasons:

  • 2020–21: 42 goals

  • 2021–22: 39 goals

  • 2022–23: 41 goals

  • 2023–24: 44 goals

  • 2024–25: 40 goals (ongoing)

As Real Madrid enters the final stretch of the season, all eyes remain on Mbappe, who continues to rewrite history with each goal. Fans and analysts alike now await to see if he can surpass his personal best and set a new goal-scoring record for a debut season in Spanish football.
