“Scoring Like Cristiano Feels Special” – Mbappé on Matching Ronaldo’s Record
Kylian Mbappé has matched Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal record in his debut season at Real Madrid.
The French forward bagged a brace in Madrid’s thrilling 3-2 comeback win over Leganes on Saturday. He opened the scoring from the penalty spot at the Santiago Bernabéu, but Leganes responded almost immediately through Diego Garcia. Dani Raba then put the visitors ahead before halftime.
After the break, Jude Bellingham leveled the game, setting the stage for Mbappé to grab his second goal of the night. That strike marked his 33rd goal across all competitions this season, equaling Ronaldo’s tally in his first campaign at the club. Only Iván Zamorano (37 goals) has scored more in his debut season for Madrid.
Speaking to Real Madrid TV, Mbappé described the achievement as special, emphasizing that team success remains the priority. He also acknowledged Ronaldo’s influence, revealing that they stay in touch and that the Portuguese star often gives him advice. Mbappé’s 33 goals include 22 in La Liga, all scored in just 45 appearances.

The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
