Once again, Kylian Mbappé made the net tremble. Against Espanyol, promoted to La Liga, the Bondynois was decisive twice even with an assist in addition to his goal. However, his match had not started particularly well, since in the first half, with a Vinicius Jr who had started on the bench, the Frenchman had struggled to make a difference. But the entry of the Brazilian changed things for the team, as for Mbappé, while the score was 1-1.
After goals from Carvajal and then Rodrygo, the former PSG player perfectly set up Vinicius so that the latter beat the Espanyol goalkeeper. A perfect shift for his teammate, then a goal, from a penalty, to conclude the Madrid party. Result of the races; Mbappé is already at the top of the pichichi ranking – top scorer in La Liga – with Robert Lewandowski, both having scored four goals, even if the Pole has played one game less and will have the opportunity to move into the lead alone against Villarreal tonight.
Already well placed for the pichichi
Although it should also be noted that three of Kylian Mbappé’s four goals were scored from penalties, the Madrid media are delighted.

He insists and insists again and again.”noted ASwho gives it a 9/10.

After a slightly complicated start, Mbappé is convincing everyone.
