Kylian Mbappé has already scored 15 goals across all competitions this season, as many as those scored by the entire Juventus squad.
France star Mbappé will be the number one threat for Juventus at the Bernabeu tonight as the Bianconeri will visit the Merengues in the Spanish capital.
Mbappé has had a stunning start to the season, netting 15 times in 11 games. As highlighted by Gazzetta, the Frenchman has the same number of goals as the entire Juventus squad. Furthermore, Mbappé has scored in each of his latest 11 appearances with the Merengues.
Mbappé has also scored three goals with the France national team this season, and the last time he didn’t find the net, considering club and country, was on August 30 against Mallorca.
Juventus, on the other hand, have netted nine times in seven Serie A games and six times in two Champions League matches.
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso praised Mbappé during a pre-match press conference on Tuesday, but insisted that his importance for the team goes beyond the number of goals he’s scored so far.
Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram added that Mbappé is currently the best player in the world alongside another France international, Ousmane Dembélé, the latest Ballon d’Or winner.
