Kylian Mbappe has equalled Cristiano Ronaldo's goal tally from his debut season for Real Madrid. Mbappe scored a brace against the Los Blancos, helping his team to a 3-2 win over Leganes at the Santiago Bernabeu.

He took his tally to 33 goals, the same number Ronaldo registered in his maiden La Liga campaign after joining from Manchester United for a record-breaking fee at that time. With nine more matches to go, Mbappe certainly will surpass Ronaldo's tally.

to have the same number of goals as Cristiano is always good. "We know what he means for Real Madrid and me, we speak, he gives me a lot of advice, he scored many goals - but we have to win trophies here." Mbappe has recovered after a slow start and the win has now put Real Madrid in a commanding position in the La Liga.

Barcelona are still the table topper and are scheduled to face Girona in a very crucial clash. If the Catalan giants lose points in this game it will provide a great opportunity for Real Madrid to close the gap.
