Kylian Mbappé set a new career-best benchmark in Real Madrid’s win over Espanyol | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic surrounding the creative exploits of Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé during the club’s latest outing has on Saturday night come to the fore.

Real, of course, marked their return to action a short time ago, welcoming Espanyol to Spain’s capital for a La Liga clash.

When all was said and done, despite a scare after falling behind early in the 2nd-half, Los Blancos emerged on the right side of a dominant 4-1 scoreline.

The aforementioned Kylian Mbappé, for his part, was amongst the goals on the night, converting from the penalty spot with 90 minutes on the clock.

As alluded to above, though, it was another aspect of the Frenchman’s game which culminated in Mbappé securing for himself a personal benchmark on Saturday.

As revealed by statisticians Sofascore:

‘For the first time in his entire career, Kylian Mbappé has tonight recorded 7 key passes in a match.’
