Kylian Mbappes Klammer against Celta Vigo on Sunday afternoon scored his personal record on 35 goals for the season and exceeded the 33 by Cristiano Ronaldo during his debut campaign from Real Madrid.
Since Real Madrid was founded by two Catalan brothers in 1902, only one player has managed a more productive debut campaign as a Mbappe. This honor belongs to Ivan Zamarano, who stirred in 37 goals in the 1992/93 season after moving from Seville to Madrid.
While this targeted term offers its place in Madrid’s history books, it is not a year that Zamarano would look back on. The campaign started with a Clasico defeat against Barcelona at the Chilens’ debut and ended with a red card against Tenerife. Zamarano gave the frustration, which handed over the entire club as Madrid’s loss in the Canary Islands on the last day of the season, Barcelona the title La Liga.
When he was suspended for the Copa Del Rey final, the Madrid won – Zamarano flew to Ecuador just in time to be beaten by Peru when Chile smashed in the group phases of the Copa America.

Mbappes Maiden campaign in Spain was not quite as turbulent, although there were some remarkable low points. The French striker talked about meeting “Rock Bottom” after missing a penalty against the Athletic Club at the end of the calendar year.
Madrid fell out of Arsenal from the Champions League and has already lost two finals against Barcelona, which they follow in La Liga. Mbappe’s brilliant attitude against Celta, the first a glowing drive into the upper corner before appearing a cool finish with his weaker left foot, ensured that Madrid still only four points of his violent competitors this weekend this weekend.
Barcelona started in a run in a run that lasted last October with a vengeful 4-0 rush of Santiago Bernabeu, on three separate occasions in Madrid in this sense. It was a particularly ruinous night for Mbappe, which was widely mocked after he was caught eight times away from the side in 90 dark minutes.
However, Carlo Ancelotti was confident that his revitalized talisman in Catalonia could shine. “A great match,” beamed the Italian game after Celta victory on Sunday. “At this level, he will be decisive in Barcelona.” He could also be a record breaker before the campaign ends.
