Mbappe celebrates milestone
The Real Madrid star has never hidden his admiration for Ronaldo, even while with Paris Saint-Germain, and many believe his love for the Portuguese star helped him choose to play for Los Blancos.
So getting to equal a record held by Ronaldo at Real Madrid was a huge deal for Mbappe, who told reporters after the match, "I'm very happy to equal Cristiano Ronaldo's debut season goals.
“We know what he represents for all of us, and he gives me a lot of advice. But the really important thing is to win titles with Real Madrid."
Thanks to Mbappe’s exploits, Real Madrid are still alive in three competitions and still have dreams of a historic treble this season.
More records in sight as Mbappe aims for Pichichi
Mbappe’s brace against Leganes secured a crucial 3-2 win for Real Madrid and brought them level on points with Barcelona in the La Liga title race.
With 22 goals in La Liga, he is very much in contention to claim the Pichichi award as the league’s top scorer, with only Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski ahead of him by one goal.
With three months left in the season, Mbappe is well on his way to surpassing Ronaldo’s record, as he looks to outdo his idol’s legacy at the Bernabeu.
After the win against Leganes in LaLiga, Mbappe and Real Madrid will now turn their attentions to the Champions League, where they take on Arsenal.
