Kylian Mbappe had a brilliant run at the start of 2026, scoring nine goals in six La Liga matches. However, from the game against Valencia CF in early February until tonight, he had to wait to score again in the league. He finally ended that drought against Deportivo Alaves, opening the scoring in Real Madrid’s 2–1 victory.
