Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé on Wednesday night continued to etch his name indellibly into the history books of the game.
As much comes owing to his exploits in Real’s meeting with Pachuca.
Carlo Ancelotti’s troops are currently locked in action in the finale of the Intercontinental Cup.
With a 2nd piece of silverware of the campaign up for grabs, Los Blancos find themselves in a commanding position, leading Mexican heavyweights Pachuca by two goals to nil.
First on target for the Spanish champions on the evening was the aforementioned Kylian Mbappé, who found himself with the simple task of slotting home from close range following some trademark excellence on the part of partner-in-crime Vinícius Jr.
As alluded to above, though, the Frenchman’s finish did not only prove significant in guiding Real Madrid into the lead in Lusail.
In addition, it saw Mbappé hit an altogether noteworthy goalscoring milestone, the summer arrival in Spain’s capital having now found the net 300 times at club level, despite being just 25 years of age.
