Kylian Mbappe Steals the Spotlight, Breaking Real Madrid's Historic Scoring Record
In a nail-biting match against Mallorca, Kylian Mbappe shone brightest, setting yet another record for Real Madrid and keeping their dwindling title hopes alive.
The French sensation scored the equalizer in their thrilling last-minute victory, surpassing a milestone set 71 years ago by club icon Alfredo Di Stefano.
With their title aspirations on the brink, Carlo Ancelotti's team entered their home match with three games remaining, trailing bitter rivals Barcelona by seven points.
Despite Mbappe's second-half equalizer, Barcelona seemed poised to secure their 28th title as the match neared its end. However, Jacobo Ramon's last-gasp winner in the fifth minute of stoppage-time turned the tide in favor of the hosts at the Santiago Bernabeu.
This win reduced Barcelona's lead at the top of the table to just four points ahead of their clash with Espanyol on Thursday, with a victory for the leaders potentially securing the title with two matches to spare.
Real Madrid's faltering title challenge, however, stands in stark contrast to Mbappe's record-breaking debut season.

Di Stefano went on to score 308 goals in 396 appearances for Real Madrid over 11 years with the club. Only Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Raul have scored more goals for the club.
As the season goes on, Mbappe continues to break records. His hat-trick in El Clasico on Sunday took his total to 39 in all competitions, eclipsing Ivan Zamorano's 32-year record for the most goals for the club in a debut season.
Mbappe has now extended his own record, scoring against Mallorca to reach 40 goals in just 53 appearances. He surpassed Ronaldo's debut season tally, with the Portuguese scoring 33 times after his move from Manchester United in the 2009/10 season.
In conclusion, Kylian Mbappé's dazzling debut season at Real Madrid places him among the club's most prolific goal scorers and sets him on the path to becoming one of LaLiga's all-time greats.
