With just one match, Mbappe has surpassed all Real Madrid players from last season.

Kylian Mbappe made a remarkable impact in his La Liga debut, breaking Real Madrid’s entire season dribbling record in just 90 minutes against Osasuna.

In the early hours of August 20, Real Madrid kicked off the 2025/26 La Liga season with a 1-0 victory over Osasuna at Santiago Bernabeu. Although the scoreline wasn’t overwhelming, Mbappe was certainly the highlight of the match. The French star not only scored the lone goal from the penalty spot but also electrified the Bernabeu with his confident technical display.

Statistics show that Mbappe completed 8 successful dribbles in this game, more than any Real Madrid player managed throughout last season (7). This immediately set him apart and injected new energy into Los Blancos’ attack.

The most memorable moment came in the 66th minute, when Mbappe picked up the ball at midfield and skillfully beat three Osasuna players in succession, cheered on by the passionate Bernabeu crowd. The move quickly went viral on social media. Real Madrid’s official page shared the clip with the caption: “Simply Mbappe.” Meanwhile, B/R Football exclaimed: “Mbappe is insane.”

Fans also showered him with praise. One supporter commented: “A world-class piece of skill.” while another account asserted: “No one else dares to dribble with such confidence except Mbappe.” His distinction lies not only in his individual skills but also in his composure, as he repeatedly broke through Osasuna’s tightly organized defense.

Facing the opponent’s defensive tactics, Real Madrid struggled to attack despite having 68% possession. Their midfield combinations were stifled, forcing Xabi Alonso’s team to try long-range shots. Mbappe became the key to victory: in the 50th minute, he drew a foul in the box and then converted the penalty himself, securing all three points.

This win puts Real Madrid temporarily in 8th place after the first round, but more importantly, it gives them hope for an explosive season led by Mbappe. After just one game, he’s already shown why he deserves to be Los Blancos’ top star and laid the foundation for a campaign to conquer La Liga and the Champions League under Xabi Alonso.
