During Real Madrid’s 4-0 defeat to their biggest rivals at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, the 25-year-old was flagged offside eight times, a career-high for the former Paris Saint-Germain star . According to ESPN, this matches the highest total for a player in a La Liga match since 2009, equaling the unwanted record held by Elche’s Jonathan against Athletic Bilbao in May 2015.
The result took Barcelona six points clear at the top of La Liga and ended Real’s 42-game unbeaten run in the Spanish top flight. The Blaugrana have set an important milestone and they will not be easy to stop in their bid to regain the league title.
A record… offsides
Mbappé had two goals disallowed for offside in the defeat against FC Barcelona. The 2018 World Cup winner with France has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 14 appearances in all competitions for the Whites this season.
Mbappé’s Real Madrid, which occupies second place in La Liga, hopes to return to victory next Saturday when they travel to Valencia, last in the standings. A home clash against AC Milan then awaits in the Champions League on November 5.
