By the numbers... an exceptional season in Mbappe's career

French star Kylian Mbappé led Real Madrid to another victory in La Liga, scoring twice and providing an assist against Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés Stadium. The French striker continued his impressive form this season, cementing his place at the top of the European goalscoring charts . Mbappé opened the scoring with a stunning run from midfield, a goal described by Spanish media as one of his best since joining Real Madrid. This was his sixth goal of the season from outside the penalty area, demonstrating his exceptional ability to score from long range . He added his second goal in the 59th minute with a powerful shot from the edge of the box, bringing his tally to 15 goals and putting him ahead of Erling Haaland in the race for the European Golden Shoe . Kylian Mbappé's season has been exceptional by all accounts, scoring 30 goals and providing 7 assists in 24 matches across Real Madrid (25 goals and 4 assists) and the French national team (5 goals and 3 assists). This reflects his outstanding performance and puts him on track to win major individual awards this season . Mbappé's impact wasn't limited to scoring; he delivered a remarkable performance from the opening minutes, completing two dribbles, recovering two balls, and registering two shots on goal in under ten minutes. This demonstrated his control of the game and his strong will to lead the team to victory at a stadium where they had previously struggled last season . Throughout this season, Mbappé has scored six braces, one hat-trick, and one "super hat-trick," confirming that he is enjoying the best period of his career with Real Madrid and the French national team, and establishing himself as one of the world's best players.
