Kylian Mbappe, who has been slowly gaining momentum in the ranks of Madrid's "Real," is starting to showcase why the "royal" club has pursued him for several summers.

The Frenchman was the key player in the victory against "Manchester City," where he scored a "hat-trick" in the UEFA Champions League knockout match.

After the match, "Real" coach Carlo Ancelotti stated that K. Mbappe is capable of breaking Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring record at the Madrid club. The Portuguese scored as many as 451 goals in "Real" jerseys.

"Mbappe can achieve these numbers, but he must work hard. Cristiano Ronaldo set the bar very high, but Mbappe can reach it.

Everyone was waiting for his first "hat-trick," and it finally happened. Of course, Mbappe is not our only weapon; we have many great players who make a difference on the pitch," said C. Ancelotti after the victory.
