Marca: Mbappe reaches a 50-goal milestone in Real Madrid, and his penalty shooting percentage has increased significantly this season

Recently, Marca talked about Mbappe's current hot form, especially his penalty shooting percentage has improved significantly this season.

Mbappe has scored 50 goals for the team more than a year after joining Real Madrid. Compared to last year, he started the season with six goals in the first five games.

Half of the goals came from penalty kicks, an aspect of his particular strengthening this season, even surpassing Vinicius to become the team's undisputed penalty kicker. His leadership and scoring abilities are reminiscent of his idol Ronaldo, who is also one of the nearly impeccable players from the 11-meter penalty.

As of now, Mbappe has scored all three penalty kicks this season. Alonso named Mbappe as the team's main penalty kicker, which is different from Ancelotti's approach last season, when Ancelotti let Mbappe and Vinicius freely decide who will take the penalty. This chaotic situation ultimately affected the team's performance, with Real Madrid only scoring 63% of the penalty kicks.

Mbappe himself also lost confidence due to missing two penalty kicks against Athletic Bilbao and Liverpool last season, however, things have changed this season. The French captain eliminated his doubts and returned Alonso's trust through the goal, successfully scoring three penalty kicks this season.

After scoring twice in the Champions League against Marseille, Mbappe has scored 50 goals for Real Madrid. He achieved this in just 64 games, and despite the enviable statistics, he still lags behind Ronaldo, who scored the same goal count in 54 games since joining Real Madrid.

Judging from the penalty kick, Ronaldo is also the best at present. In the first season, Mbappe scored 7 penalty kicks and missed 3, while Ronaldo made 4 of 5 free throws. However, Mbappe seems more confident this season and has scored all three penalty kicks. Similarly, Ronaldo also improved his penalty kick record in the second season and successfully scored 9 penalty kicks.

Despite some struggles in the first season, Mbappe is not far from Ronaldo. Overall, he made two more mistakes in his first 13 penalty attempts, which is still a commendable result given that Ronaldo made only one mistake in the first two seasons.

The following is a comparison of their first 13 penalty shooters:

Royce: 12 goals (92.3%)

Mbappe: 10 goals (77%)

If the scope is expanded, we can see that Ronaldo scored a total of 79 of 92 penalty kicks during his time at Real Madrid, with a success rate of up to 85.8%. Mbappe's shooting percentage has increased significantly this season and has become the team's main penalty kicker. Therefore, it is possible that he will surpass these amazing numbers in the future. According to calculations, Mbappe needs to score the next 9 penalty kicks to exceed Ronaldo's average shooting percentage at Real Madrid, which will make his shooting percentage reach 86.3%.
