In matchday 22 of the Spanish La Liga, Real snatched a victory over Rayo Vallecano. Vinícius opened the scoring, de Frutos leveled with a precise strike, but it was Mbappé who sealed the win for Los Blancos by converting a penalty in the 90+10th minute.
This goal marked the French striker's 22nd in 22 matches this La Liga season. With this feat, Mbappé joins the ranks of legends like Messi and Ronaldo—previously, only seven players had ever achieved such a record.
It's worth noting that with this win, Real managed to keep their deficit to Barcelona to a minimum. The Madrid club still trails the Catalans by just a single point, while Mbappé remains La Liga's top scorer by a considerable margin.
