Mbappe is the first French player to achieve such a feat, etching his name in French soccer history. His second goal came minutes later, taking him to 31 on the season.

That made it a more successful first season at Real Madrid than former striker Ronaldo Nazário, who managed 30 in his first season with Los Blancos during 2002/03.

Real found themselves 1-0 down early in the game thanks to Villarreal defender Juan Foyth. However, Mbappe turned the game on its head, and the second was a fabulous strike from outside the area.

The Frenchman will be looking to secure his second La Liga hat-trick of the season. More importantly, he hopes Los Blancos will take all three points to send them to the top of the standings.
