LaLiga: Kylian Mbappe breaks 71-year record in Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Mallorca
Real Madrid superstar, Kylian Mbappe, on Wednesday, broke Alfredo Di Stéfano’s record for the club.
The Frenchman broke the record for most LaLiga goals in the debut season for Los Blancos.
It was Mbappe’s 32nd league game and the former PSG star netted his 28th league goal in the 2-1 win against Mallorca.
With two matches left, the France international can add to his tally
Di Stéfano held the record for 71 years, as he scored 27 goals in the 1953-54 season.
Meanwhile, it was a difficult game for Real Madrid who needed an injury-time winner to keep the title race alive at least for another 24 hours.
Jacobo Ramon found the back of the net (90+5′) after Martin Valjent gave the visitors the lead (11′) and Mbappe scored in the 68th minute.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side’s defeat to Barcelona last weekend was a big blow to their title defence as they are now four points behind the Catalans who will play their local derby against Espanyol on Thursday.
Barca can be confirmed league winners today with a win, but a draw or loss would see the race go down to the wire in the final two games.
Di Stéfano scored 306 goals in 392 appearances for Los Blancos.
Only Cristiano Ronaldo (450), Karim Benzema (354), and Raul (323) have scored more goals for the club than Di Stéfano.
