Kylian Mbappe Shines Despite Lack of Major Titles at Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe has faced significant criticism during his two years at Real Madrid, as he has been unable to lead the club to any major titles. His arrival was anticipated to bolster a team fresh off a La Liga-Champions League double, yet this has not materialized due to various factors. Adding to the pressure, his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, claimed the UEFA Champions League title in both seasons.
While critics have pointed out several shortcomings in his performance, one aspect that remains undeniable is his exceptional goalscoring ability. With a remarkable total of 58 goals for both club and country, he has achieved a unique record that no player has managed before.

As MARCA reports that Mbappe completed a hat-trick of Golden Boots last year. He retained the Pichichi title, which he first secured in his inaugural season at Real Madrid, by finishing as the top scorer in La Liga last season with 25 goals.
Additionally, he led the scoring in the UEFA Champions League, netting 15 goals, despite Real Madrid’s elimination in the quarter-finals—marking the third-best individual tally in the history of the competition.
Furthermore, he also won the World Cup 2026 Golden Boot with his 10 goals, which elevated him to the all-time highest goalscorer in the tournament’s history with 22 goals.
While these achievements speak volumes about his skill, trophies remain elusive for Kylian Mbappe, as France also exited the World Cup in the semi-finals. Fans hope that the upcoming season will bring a change, enabling him to capture major titles like La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid under new coach Jose Mourinho.
