Mbappe's Scoring Feats in the Champions League
The French star has now scored more than half of Real Madrid's goals in the competition this season.
Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid's forward, continues his scoring spree in the Champions League, already tallying 11 goals, eclipsing many clubs in the tournament.
He struck twice against Monaco in the commanding 6-1 victory at the Bernabeu on Tuesday, as the Royals solidified their place in the group.
Early numbers put Mbappe ahead of Bayer Leverkusen (10), Real Madrid (8 excluding his 11), Napoli (7), and Villarreal (5) in the scoring chart.
With that win, Madrid climbed to 15 points, sitting third in the Champions League group, three points behind Bayern Munich (second) and six behind Arsenal (leaders).
Punchline: Mbappe's goals coming in like escalators—always going up.
Punchline 2: Real Madrid should start selling popcorn at midfield—the drama is delicious.
