After his first goal with Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé reached his 49th goal in the Champions League, surpassing the Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic who had only 48 goals. With this, the Frenchman entered the top 10 of top scorers in this competition and is just one goal away from surpassing his compatriot Thierry Henry, who also has 49 goals.

Mbappé's start at Real Madrid was not what he dreamed of, especially in the Spanish league where he had not been able to score in 3 games. However, he adapted quickly and now almost averages a goal per game. It is just what was expected from the France star who caused a stir with his arrival to the White House team.

Kylian Mbappé was a quite difficult signing for Real Madrid, because for a long time they wanted to hire him, however, the player seemed increasingly distant because PSG would not let him leave. They even gave him a clause of $200 million dollars that Madrid did not want to pay. Given that, they decided that he would not join the club, at least for that season.

It was all part of a strategy because Mbappé left for free after that season. With the arrival of Kylian, there was talk in Madrid that a second season for the Galacticos was practically coming, because together with Vinicius, Bellingham, Valverde, they would be unstoppable in the Spanish league, the truth is that so far they have not been able to do so.

Kylian Mbappé and the first thing he said when he arrived at Real Madrid

The French player confessed that he was very happy to have arrived at Madrid: "I am very excited to arrive at that club. I want to thank all the people who have sent me messages. I have not been able to see all of them, I thank you for the messages. I want to thank "all the people at Real Madrid who have worked, and Florentino especially, who gave me confidence from the first moment."
