Mbappe ignites Madrid in September

French star Kylian Mbappé continued his impressive performances for Real Madrid this season, leading the team to a resounding 5-0 victory over Kazakh side Kairat Almaty in the second round of the Champions League group stage, scoring another record-extending hat-trick. Mbappé scored his three goals in the 25th, 52nd, and 73rd minutes, bringing his personal tally to 60 Champions League goals, a number that places him among the tournament's all-time top scorers, ahead of many prominent stars. According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, September was a special showcase for the French star, as he scored in every match he played for both Real Madrid and the French national team. He scored 12 goals during the month, surpassing Harry Kane and equaling Norwegian Erling Haaland, who scored five goals against Moldova. In his second season with the Royal Club, Mbappé has been a regular starter, scoring in nine consecutive matches between La Liga and the Champions League. Even in the only defeat this season against Atletico Madrid in the capital derby, Mbappé scored his team's only goal after his hat-trick against Almaty: "If I have five chances, I have to score five goals. That's why Real Madrid signed me." This statement sums up the player's competitive mentality, as he expressed his dissatisfaction despite scoring a hat-trick, noting that he won't settle for less than making the most of every opportunity, as his responsibilities with the team always demand the best from him. With this performance, Mbappé confirms that he is not just a major signing, but a new attacking leader for Real Madrid, strongly aspiring to leave a historic mark in the continental championship, which he has always dreamed of winning.
