'It's very special': Kylian Mbappe matches Cristiano Ronaldo's tally in first Real Madrid season

Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe equalled Cristiano Ronaldo's first-season record of 33 goals for the club after scoring twice in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Leganes in La Liga, matching the Portuguese star's tally from the 2009-10 campaign across 44 appearances in all competitions.
Mbappe's performance helped Real Madrid come from behind to secure the win at the Santiago Bernabeu, bringing them level with Barcelona at the top of the table before the Catalans' Sunday match against Girona.

The French forward opened the scoring with a Panenka-style penalty down the middle and later completed Madrid's comeback with a free-kick after the team had fallen behind.

"It's very special... to have the same number of goals as Cristiano is always good," Mbappe told Real Madrid TV. "We know what he means for Real Madrid and me, we speak, he gives me a lot of advice, he scored many goals -- but we have to win trophies here."
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Mbappe's recent form following his summer transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

"He's doing very well, he's a lot more active and present in (the team's) play," Ancelotti told reporters. "He's making the difference and that's what we want from him."
Ronaldo, who joined Real Madrid from Manchester United, went on to become the club's all-time leading scorer with 450 goals.
Earlier in February, after Mbappe scored a hat-trick against Manchester City, Ancelotti had discussed the forward's potential to match Ronaldo's legacy.
"He has the quality to reach his numbers, but he has to work, because Cristiano set the bar very high, but he is so excited to play here, he can reach Cristiano's level," said Ancelotti.
