Real Madrid has officially announced the recipient of their Player of the Season award for the 2025/26 campaign, with Kylian Mbappé taking home the accolade.
The French forward, Mbappé, faced significant scrutiny and criticism from media and fans alike following a turbulent period at the end of his debut season with the club in the Spanish capital. However, his individual statistics tell a compelling story.
Despite Real Madrid’s collective struggles under managers Xabi Alonso and Álvaro Arbeloa, Mbappé consistently delivered elite-level performances in front of goal. Throughout the past season, he appeared in 44 matches across all competitions, amassing an impressive 42 goals and providing seven assists.
These outstanding contributions were sufficient for Mbappé to triumph over strong contenders such as Vinícius Jr. and Thibaut Courtois, earning him the prestigious Player of the Season award at Real Madrid.
