Latest Kylian Mbappé news: hat-trick against Real Sociedad
Mbappé scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu on 26 August 2026. He led the attack from centre-forward and completed the treble with Madrid’s fourth goal, adding another high-scoring night to his record in the number 10 shirt.
The performance also lands at the start of a new Spanish title race. SportPesa Global’s La Liga 2026/27 season preview provides the broader Real Madrid, Barcelona and managerial context.
Early life and Monaco breakthrough
Mbappé was born in Paris and raised in Bondy, where football was central to his development from childhood. After time at the French national academy at Clairefontaine, he joined Monaco’s system and debuted for the senior team as a teenager. His 2016/17 season turned him into an international star: Monaco won Ligue 1, reached the Champions League semi-finals and trusted Mbappé in decisive knockout matches despite his age.
That season established the pattern that has followed him throughout his career. He did not need long adaptation periods before scoring at a new level, and he was especially effective when games opened up and defenders had to cover large spaces.
Paris Saint-Germain career
Mbappé joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, first on loan and then permanently. Across seven seasons in Paris he became the club’s all-time leading scorer with 256 goals. He won six Ligue 1 titles with PSG and repeatedly finished as the league’s top scorer, while also taking the club to its first Champions League final in 2020.
His PSG years also changed his role. He moved from an explosive young winger to a forward expected to decide matches, take penalties and carry a much larger share of the scoring load. By the time he left in 2024, his next challenge was less about proving he could score and more about whether he could reproduce that dominance at Real Madrid.
Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid
Real Madrid announced Mbappé in June 2024 and signed him to a five-season contract. He scored on his competitive debut in the UEFA Super Cup and finished his first La Liga season with 31 goals. That total brought the Pichichi and his first European Golden Shoe.
His second season confirmed that the scoring level of his debut campaign was sustainable. Mbappé scored 25 league goals to win another Pichichi and added 15 Champions League goals to finish as the competition’s outright leading scorer. Real Madrid reported 42 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions in 2025/26.
| Competition / season | Appearances | Goals | Result |
| 2024/25 La Liga | 34 | 31 | Pichichi + European Golden Shoe |
| 2025/26 La Liga | 31 | 25 | Pichichi – second consecutive season |
| 2025/26 Champions League | 11 | 15 | Competition top scorer |
| 2025/26 all competitions | 44 | 42 | Real Madrid Player of the Season recognition |

France career and World Cup legacy
Mbappé’s international career has been defined by repeated World Cup milestones. He scored four goals as France won in 2018, eight in 2022 and 10 in 2026. That took him to 22 World Cup goals and put him top of the men’s all-time scoring list after the 2026 tournament.
His 2026 tournament also produced another Golden Boot. SportPesa Global’s 2026 FIFA World Cup individual awards recap tracks the final individual honours, while the France vs Morocco World Cup quarter-final coverage captures his role during the knockout run.
The 2026 tournament also saw him overtake Olivier Giroud as France’s all-time leading scorer. Mbappé therefore combines the captaincy with a World Cup winners’ medal, two World Cup Golden Boots and a scoring record built across three tournaments.

Position and playing style
Mbappé can be classified as a forward, centre-forward or left-sided attacker depending on the match. Those labels describe starting positions more than limitations. His game is built around changing lanes quickly: he can stay central to pin centre-backs, drift left to receive facing goal, or move outside before attacking inside with his right foot.
- Elite acceleration over the first five to ten metres.
- Repeated runs behind the defensive line rather than waiting exclusively for the ball to feet.
- Strong right-footed finishing, with increasing variety on his left.
- Comfort attacking from the left half-space or as the highest central forward.
- High shot volume and a willingness to shoot early before a goalkeeper is fully set.
- Experience taking penalties in World Cup finals, Champions League matches and major domestic fixtures.
