Kylian Mbappe got off to a great start in the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid. He scored his first goal for the team in a 3-1 win over Stuttgart. In the 46th minute, the French forward scored the first goal after Rodrygo de Goes sent a pass in the right place. After scoring this goal, Mbappe now has 49 goals in the Champions League, which puts him in the top 10 scorers of all time.
After a slow start to the La Liga season, Mbappe’s recent play has been very important for Madrid. The 25-year-old didn’t score in his first three league games, but he has now scored in three straight games in all categories. His recent goals, like two against Real Betis and one in the 2-0 win over Real Sociedad, have helped Madrid get back on track as they try to protect their Champions League title.
Even though Stuttgart’s Deniz Undav tied the game for a short time, late goals from Antonio Rudiger and young star Endrick Felipe gave Real Madrid a winning start in the new Champions League format.
Former Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo said he was sure Mbappe would do well at the club, even though he had some problems in La Liga at first. Ronaldo thinks that Mbappe will do great for Real Madrid once he gets his flow.
This is Mbappe’s best game yet, and Madrid fans can’t wait to see how far their star forward can take them in their quest for another European title.
