Kylian Mbappe has insisted there is "no limit" to the number of goals he could score this season as he seeks to become the first Real Madrid player to net 50 times in a single campaign since Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo
bagged 50 in six consecutive seasons between 2010 and 2016, even breaking the
60-goal barrier in 2014/15, and is the last Madrid player to reach half a
century in one season across all competitions.
Madrid fans
hope that Mbappe, who scored his first goal for the club on his debut in the
Super Cup win over Atalanta, can fill the superstar void left behind by
Ronaldo, and the 25-year-old has insisted he could reach those heights with the
help of his teammates.
"We are
at Real Madrid, we have no limit," he told Movistar. "If I can score
50, then 50, but the most important thing is winning and improving as a team,
because we will win as a team."
Mbappe
described his goalscoring debut as a "dream" and was keen to share
the praise for the Super Cup win with teammates Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and
Jude Bellingham.
Ronaldo's
first season with Madrid, the 2009/10 campaign, yielded 33 goals across a year
which, for him, lasted just 35 games as injury and poor team performance in the
Copa del Rey and Champions League shortened their season.
