With that, Mbappe’s total goals reached 31, a feat only achieved before by Brazilian legends Ronaldo Nazario and Romario, as well as Pruden, since the competition began.

Also, the former PSG star became the first player since Messi to score 30 or more goals in a single La Liga season as well as the first Real Madrid player to do this since Ronaldo in the 2014-15 season.
