26-year-old Kylian Mbappe, meanwhile, has now found his best form after a slow start to life as a Real Madrid player. The Frenchman has so far scored 21 goals and provided three assists in 32 appearances across competitions.
He scored a brace during the 4-1 win against Las Palmas this month before bagging his hat trick against Valladolid.
Following his hat trick against Valladolid, Mbappe received high praise from Carlo Ancelotti with the Italian pointing out that the Frenchman is finding his rhythm at the club. He said:
Mbappe is bringing a lot to the team, he's been getting into a rhythm for a couple of months and today, for the first time, he scored a hat-trick for us. Obviously that's a plus for our team, he's a player of great quality. Little by little we've got into a good rhythm, we've got into a good dynamic and that's great to see.
- Carlo Ancelotti
Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid are set to return to action on February 1 in a La Liga away showdown.
