Real Madrid marked their return to action a short time ago, making the trip to Andalusia for a La Liga meeting with Sevilla.
The aforementioned Mbappé featured from the off in the clash, amid his ongoing pursuit of a debut season Pichichi.
And as alluded to above, during the 2nd-half at The Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, the Frenchman took another step towards precisely that.
Picked out by Luka Modrić 20+ yards from goal, Mbappé directed an unstoppable driven effort into the far bottom corner.
This means that the 26-year-old has now racked up a hugely impressive 41 goals in his first season in the colours of Real Madrid.

Not only that, but Mbappé has overtaken Robert Lewandowski – arch rivals Barcelona's top scorer – for goals in 2024/25.

Report – Inter Milan Make Manchester United & Parma Strikers Top Targets For Summer Transfer Window
Joshua Zirkzee and Yoan-Ange Bonny have emerged as the top targets for Inter Milan ahead of the summer transfer window. Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the two strikers have climbed to the top of Beppe Marotta's shortlist. Advertisement Inter had tried to lure Joshua Zirkzee to San Siro before Manchester United beat them to the punch last summer. However, the Dutchman's first season at Old Trafford has been a disaster, and he could soon return to Serie A. Meanwhile, Yoan-Ange Bonny has enjoyed an impressive maiden season in Italy's top flight with Parma. The Frenchman has been one of the revelations this term, attracting interest from numerous clubs in the country. Inter Milan Eager to Sign Joshua Zirkzee & Yoan-Ange Bonny PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 15: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio looks on during the Serie A match between Parma and Verona at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 15, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Both players fit Inter's new transfer policy. Indeed, they're both young, boast ample room for improvement, and would likely offer a decent resale value. Advertisement However, they would unlikely be the club's only signings. Bonny's clubmate, Giovanni Leoni, is also on Inter's shopping list, especially now that Yann Bisseck may leave. Furthermore, the Serie A title hopefuls keep close tabs on Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup. After Piotr Zielinski struggled in his first season at San Siro, Inter could try to land the Norwegian this summer.
