Kylian Mbappé eclipses huge ex-Madrid star after brace against Villarreal | OneFootball

There's just no stopping Kylian Mbappé, is there?

While questions certainly may remain surrounding Real Madrid star and club colleague Vinícius Júnior, the French hitman has taken to life in the Spanish capital like a duck to water in his first season at the Santiago Bernabeu, with another goal glut underway against Villarreal.

In the wake of an early deficit thanks to an 8th-minute goal by Juan Foyth, Mbappé has willed Los Blancos into a first-half lead with a brace before the 30th-minute mark, which now puts him on 31 goals for the season across all competitions, eclipsing the great Ronaldo in the process.

Now sitting just one goal behind Barcelona goalscoring rival Robert Lewandowski in the race for the Pichichi trophy, has Mbappé usurped Vini Jr. as Real Madrid's true polemarch?
