Overview
- Mbappé scored in the 24th minute at Deportivo Alavés to set up a 2-1 Real Madrid win.
- He has 56 goals for Real Madrid in the 2025 calendar year, needing three to tie Cristiano Ronaldo’s 59 and four to surpass it.
- Real Madrid’s remaining 2025 fixtures are Talavera in the Copa del Rey on Dec. 17 and Sevilla in LaLiga on Dec. 20.
- Xabi Alonso is likely to rotate against Talavera, which could limit Mbappé’s minutes even if he appears.
- The Alavés strike was his 70th for the club in 81 games—Ronaldo reached 70 in 75—while he also ties Harry Kane for 21 combined goals and assists this season in Europe’s top leagues.
