Kylian Mbappé scored against Valencia, extending his streak to eight consecutive La Liga games, joining Cristiano Ronaldo as only the second Real Madrid player to achieve this remarkable feat.
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé continued to etch his name into the club’s history books on Saturday, equaling a sensational goalscoring record set by legendary figure Cristiano Ronaldo during the La Liga clash against Valencia CF at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
The 26-year-old forward opened the scoring for Los Blancos inside the opening 20 minutes (19′), confidently converting a penalty after Xabi Alonso’s side was awarded a spot-kick.
This latest goal guided Real Madrid toward what Get Spanish Football News (GFN) reporting suggests is a dominant start to the campaign, pushing for their tenth victory in eleven La Liga matches.
The strike was significant from a historical perspective, marking the eighth consecutive La Liga outing in which Mbappé has found the back of the net. This exceptional run places the French international in an elite category.
As confirmed by the highly respected statistician ‘MisterChip’ on X, Mbappé has now joined club icon Cristiano Ronaldo as only the second player in the long history of Real Madrid to manage such an incredible feat.
Mbappé’s consistency, having netted in 15 of his last 16 league appearances, highlights his immediate and monumental impact since arriving in the Spanish capital. The relentless nature of his goalscoring has drawn high praise, including this comment from MisterChip:
“RMA 1-0 VAL (19′) – Mbappé ha marcado en 8 jornadas consecutivas de La Liga, después de ver como ante el Mallorca se truncaba otra racha de 7 jornadas seguidas marcando. O dicho de otra manera: ha marcado en 15 de sus últimos 16 partidos de La Liga y está en modo Terminator…”
The forward’s performance confirms his status as a pivotal figure, firmly cementing his place in the record books alongside the club’s greatest-ever goalscorers.
