Mbappe, a French international, joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain and finished the 2024-25 season with 31 goals in 34 LaLiga matches, edging out Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski.

His impressive performance was capped off with a brace in the final match of the season, contributing to Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad.

This achievement puts Mbappe in an elite group, joining Ruud van Nistelrooy, who also scored 25 goals in his debut LaLiga season with Real Madrid in 2006-07.
