Kylian Mbappe's remarkable form at Real Madrid has drawn comparisons to the club's all-time leading scorer Cristiano Ronaldo. The French superstar is on his way to making history in the Spanish capital, and according to coach Xabi Alonso, he has the "contagious ambition" that inspires the rest of the team.
Mbappe has netted 55 goals with Real Madrid this season, just four shy of Ronaldo's record of 59 set in 2013. The French forward has been in scintillating form, scoring 16 goals in 15 La Liga matches and nine in five Champions League games.
The comparisons between Mbappe and Ronaldo are clear-cut, but the question remains: can Mbappe truly match the Portuguese legend's record? Real Madrid face a tough test against Celta Vigo on Sunday, but they will be heavy favourites to take all three points.
Celta Vigo, meanwhile, have been one of the surprise packages in La Liga this season. Their impressive away record has allowed them to cause upsets against bigger teams, and they could potentially spring another surprise at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid's form has wavered of late, allowing Barcelona to leapfrog them to the top of the table. The pressure is on Alonso to restore order, but Mbappe's incredible goal-scoring record suggests that he will be a key player in getting Real back on track.
The head-to-head between Real Madrid and Celta Vigo has been one-sided in favour of Los Blancos, with 39 wins from 58 meetings. However, the away team have had some success in recent years, particularly under manager Hector Moreno.
As Mbappe closes in on Ronaldo's record, the French forward will be looking to lead his team to a comfortable win against Celta Vigo. The question is: can they make it happen?

I'm literally shaking right now thinking about Kylian Mbappe's goal-scoring form at Real Madrid! 55 goals and counting, and he's just 4 shy of CR7's record 
The pressure on Xabi Alonso is ON, and the whole team needs to rally behind Mbappe if they wanna make it happen. Celta Vigo is no joke either, they've been one of the dark horses in La Liga this season. I'm loving the excitement and unpredictability of it all 
I think Real Madrid need to get their heads back in the game, especially with that huge gap at the top of La Liga 
Mbappe's form is incredible, but if he can't get his teammates on track, it won't matter how many goals he scores 
️ Celta Vigo are a tough opponent and I'm loving their chances of causing an upset! 
. Real Madrid's form has been off lately, but Mbappe's on fire 
. The pressure's on Alonso to get his team back on track, and I'm hoping they come out on top 
. Celta Vigo has been doing some unexpected things in La Liga, so you never know what's gonna happen on Sunday 
. Real Madrid needs a win to get back on top, and Mbappe is gonna be the key player in that. But, I'm still not convinced they can take it easy against Celta Vigo 
. And what about the pressure? This kid's gotta be carrying the weight of the entire team on his shoulders... 
. Can he keep it up? I'm not so sure 
. Celta Vigo might just pull off a surprise and give Real Madrid a run for their money 
.
Does the whole stadium erupt or is it just a quiet moment of history being made?! 
I swear, football fans are always so invested in the drama and pressure on players like Alonso to keep up with Mbappe's form... can't they just enjoy the game for once?! 
.
. But with Mbappe leading the charge, I think they've got a good shot at beating Celta Vigo 
, and it'll be interesting to see how he handles the pressure of breaking Ronaldo's record 
. They've been causing upsets left and right, and they could easily spring another surprise at the Santiago Bernabeu
