He equaled his record and celebrated like him, Mbappe dedicates the achievement

Kylian Mbappe sealed Real Madrid's victory over Sevilla with an 86th-minute penalty, equalling Cristiano Ronaldo's record for most goals in a calendar year with 59.

The Frenchman dedicated this goal to CR7 by celebrating it, and he responded to reporters after the match.

"Today I equaled the record of my idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, the greatest player in the history of this club. Why did I dedicate my goal to Ronaldo? Because he has always been very good to me, he helped me adapt to Madrid, he is now my friend and I have a very good relationship with him. I want to send him my best wishes, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. When I was a little boy, I used to say that my dream birthday present would be to play a match for Real Madrid. Tonight, that dream came true," declared Mbappe.
