Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé scored in the 11th minute from a penalty spot against Racing Santander, extending his remarkable La Liga scoring streak and ensuring he has now found the net against every single opponent he has faced in the Spanish top flight.
How Mbappé Secured His 24th La Liga Victim
Mbappé stepped up to take the penalty in the 11th minute after going down inside the box following a light challenge from Matteo Prati. Referee José Luis Munuera Montero immediately pointed to the spot, allowing the French international to convert safely and give Real Madrid the early advantage.
The goal against Racing Santander completes a unique sequence for the 27-year-old attacker. Having previously cleared out remaining gaps on his personal list with strikes against Málaga and Elche, Mbappé has now scored against all 24 teams he has encountered during his career in La Liga. No club has managed to keep a clean sheet against the Real Madrid star.
Goals, Statistics and the Golden Shoe Chase
With this latest strike, Mbappé’s production for the Spanish club continues to climb at a rapid pace. He currently has 15 total goals across all competitions this season, with 12 of those coming domestically in La Liga.

Those figures place him in contention for the league’s top scorer award and the Golden Shoe. Overall, records show that Mbappé has netted 68 league goals in 76 appearances for Real Madrid.
What Awaits Real Madrid Before the Winter Break
Real Madrid’s schedule offers an immediate chance to build upon this momentum before the upcoming winter break. Up next for the side is a fixture against league newcomer Deportivo La Coruña, presenting Mbappé with an opportunity to continue his scoring form.
