Real Madrid is experiencing one of its strongest weeks of the season after defeating Barcelona in El Clásico and strengthening its position at the top of LaLiga. Among the celebrations, one player continues to stand out — Kylian Mbappé, who has just equaled a historic milestone set by Cristiano Ronaldo.
The French star opened the scoring against Valencia from the penalty spot, becoming only the second player in Real Madrid’s history to score in eight consecutive LaLiga matches — a record previously achieved by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mbappé’s current run includes goals against Real Sociedad, Levante, Atlético Madrid, Villarreal, Getafe, Barcelona, and now Valencia, showing his outstanding consistency and finishing ability throughout this impressive stretch.
“He’s scored, he’s scoring, and he’ll keep scoring. His influence on the team is enormous, and he’s handling it with great maturity. We just have to support him so he continues this way,” said manager Xabi Alonso.
The victory over Valencia not only extended Real Madrid’s lead in LaLiga but also lifted confidence before their decisive Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield this Tuesday. A positive result in England could almost guarantee the team’s place in the Round of 16.
Alonso’s lineup emphasized offensive power, featuring Courtois, Valverde, Militão, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Arda Güler, Vinícius, and Mbappé spearheading the attack.
Mbappé’s eight-game scoring streak, matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s record, highlights Real Madrid’s superb form and rising confidence ahead of their Champions League test at Anfield.
