Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Girona after Kylian Mbappé converted a penalty in the 67th minute and Azzedine Unahi scored in the 45th minute.
However, it was more than just a game for the French striker, as the goal was his 60th of the year, putting him on the same list as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mbapp achieves historic record with Real Madrid
Over the past two decades, the current captain of Al Nasr and Inter Miami has attracted attention with his goals and feats that remain in the hearts of all football fans.
The truth is that they and Robert Lewandowski were the only players this century to score 60 goals in a single year. With his goal against Girona, Kylian became the fourth player to achieve this feat, taking his tally to 53 for club and seven more for France.
According to Goal, this milestone is even more special because it hasn’t been achieved by a French player in 67 years. The last person to achieve it was Juste Fontaine in 1958.
Meanwhile, while these figures demonstrate Kylian’s extraordinary efficiency, the draw increased the pressure on Xabi Alonso’s side, extending their away win streak to a third league game.
Despite this, Kylian continues to add to his tally of goals for Real Madrid and still has five games left (four in La Liga and one in the Champions League) before he ends his losing streak. It’s against Athletic Club on Wednesday, December 3rd. They will then face Celta Vigo at the Bernabé on Sunday 7th December and Manchester City on Wednesday 10th December (Champions League).
They will visit Deportivo Alavés on Sunday, December 14th and conclude this year’s schedule with a home game against Sevilla on Friday, December 20th.
