Mbappe is the biggest contributor to Real Madrid this season, and he avoided the birth of the worst Real Madrid in history!

Mbappe

This season Real Madrid was eliminated by Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, lost to Barcelona in the final of the Cup, and the La Liga hopes are slim, so it is very likely that a season with all four of them will be empty. Many people attribute Real Madrid's failure this season to the arrival of Mbappe, which is actually a complete and wrong interpretation. Mbappe is by no means a sinner who leads to Real Madrid's failure, but rather avoids the absolute hero who has avoided the birth of the worst Real Madrid in history.

Mbappe scored a hat trick against Manchester City

Although Real Madrid has had many seasons of missing four major seasons since its establishment in 1902, they have only failed to advance to the quarterfinals in the Champions League. It was in the distant 1962-63 season, and Real Madrid also had super stars such as Distiffano, Puscas, and Hento. But they lost to Anderlecht 3:4 in two rounds in the Champions League 1/8 finals and missed the round of 16. Is this the worst season in Real Madrid's history? Obviously not, because they won the La Liga title that season. Looking at this season (2024-25 season), Real Madrid has missed the King's Cup championship, and the La Liga championship is also slim. The Champions League has advanced to the top 16 through the knockout playoffs. If it weren't for Mbappe's heroic performance, Real Madrid might even be eliminated by Manchester City in the Champions League knockout playoffs. In the first leg between Real Madrid and Manchester City, Mbappe scored 1 goal away, helping the team narrowly defeat his opponent 3:2. In the second leg, Mbappe scored 3 goals and scored a hat-trick, defeating Manchester City 3:1 again at home, and eliminated Manchester City 6:3 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarter-finals, he was eliminated by another Premier League giant Arsenal with a total score of 1:5. If Mbappe hadn't led the team to the Champions League quarterfinals with his divine performance, then Real Madrid would have very likely ushered in the worst season in team history.

Real Madrid players' first season goals rankings

Everyone knows that Mbappe's best position on the court is the left winger, but Real Madrid already has Vinicius in this position, so Mbappe has to bite the bullet and play the center position that he is not good at or willing to. However, he still played extremely efficiently. So far this season, Mbappe made 52 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 36 goals and 5 assists, and averaged about 0.79 goals per game. This is just Mbappe's performance and data in his first season with Real Madrid. His Real Madrid first season has surpassed Ronaldo's goals in his first season with Real Madrid (Royce scored 33 goals in the 2009-10 season), ranking second in the ranking of goals in the team's first season with only Zamorano, who scored 37 goals in the 1992-93 season. There are 4 games left in the La Liga this season, and Mbappe is likely to surpass Zamorano. Superstars such as "Alien" Ronaldo and "King of Small Bond Zone" Fanny were left behind by Mbappe. Although Mbappe and his teammates scored only a last-minute goal, this is inseparable from the assistance and dedication of other teammates. Therefore, it is very important to have one or more good assists around a shooter. When "Alien" Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2002, he partnered with Raul, who was in his peak period, and there were passers-by masters such as Figo, Zidane, and Guti in the midfield. Carlos, who had super assisting skills on the left, had only scored 30 goals in his first season at Real Madrid with the assistance of so many top stars. In 2006, the "King of Small Boundary Zone" Van Nie also partnered with Raul on the front line when joining Real Madrid. Beckham, who had long passes accurately guided, and Guti, who made a straight pass in the midfield. With the help of these two top passers, Fan Nie scored 33 goals in his first season with the help of these two top passers. When Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009, Lafayette also introduced top stars such as Kaka, Alonso, and Benzema. There were also the strong Raul and Guti in the team. The left back had the successor of Carlos, and Marcelo, who was also good at assists. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ronaldo scored 33 goals as a left winger in his first season in Real Madrid. Finally, let’s take a look at Mbappe. When he joined Real Madrid last summer, all-around center Benzema had already gone to West Asia. Passing master Kroos has retired. Golden ball midfielder Modric has been declining. Guillail, who has outstanding footwork, cannot be reused. The remaining Valverde, Bellingham, Cerbalos and others are not yet considered master-level midfielders. At the same time, Mbappe also has to play the center position where he is not good at. It is not easy for Mbappe to score 36 goals under such harsh conditions in his first season at Real Madrid, which is enough to prove how strong he is.

Mbappe

To sum up, if Real Madrid had not been so strong this season, they would have already broken the team's lower limit of shame. So Mbappe is definitely not the sinner who caused Real Madrid to fail this season, but the absolute hero who avoided the birth of the worst Real Madrid in history!
