And what if this goal definitively launched Kylian Mbappé’s season with Real Madrid? This Tuesday evening, against Deportivo Alavés in the championship, the number 9 scored again, his fifth goal in the last four La Liga matches. But, this time, no penalty or goal from a late goal. A real “Mbappé” achievement: one-two triggered with Jude Belligham, call in the area, hook on the opposing defender and strike with his right foot at the near post. A quick action, with running and efficiency. In short, the “real” Kylian Mbappé, to increase his club’s advantage to 2-0.
During the first half, the former PSG striker thought he had scored on a pass from Vinicius but he was flagged for offside. He had to wait until the 40th minute to score his first “golazo”, as the Spanish say, with Real Madrid in front of nearly 75,000 spectators at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. It was the 7th goal in nine games, all competitions combined, but the 6th in the last five games. A series that began on September 1st against Betis Sevilla with a double and continued against Real Sociedad, VFB Stuttgart, Espanyol Barcelona and, therefore, Alavés.
