Mbappe, wearing the iconic No. 9 shirt previously worn by Ronaldo, struggled in his early Clasico appearances, including a 4-0 defeat, a 5-2 Spanish Super Cup loss, and a 3-2 Copa del Rey setback.
However, he starred in Madrid’s 4-3 thriller in Catalunya on May 11, netting a hat-trick despite another loss.
