Ramos hails Mbappe’s debut goal in Real Madrid win. Former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has heaped praise on Kylian Mbappe after the French star scored his first Champions League goal for the club during their 3-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.
Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid this summer, opened the scoring in the 46th minute, connecting perfectly with a through ball from Rodrygo. The goal marked a significant milestone for the Frenchman, as it was his 49th in the Champions League, propelling him into the competition’s top 10 all-time scorers, ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Andriy Shevchenko.
Despite the early lead, the Bundesliga side fought back, with Denis Undav leveling the score in the 68th minute. However, Antonio Rudiger restored Real Madrid’s advantage in the 83rd minute before young Brazilian forward Endrick sealed the win with a stunning late goal.
Mbappe celebrated his goal by blowing kisses to the fans, a gesture reminiscent of one of Ramos’ iconic celebrations during his time with Los Blancos. The Spanish defender, who spent 16 years at Real Madrid, was thrilled to see Mbappe make an immediate impact in the Champions League.
Ramos took to Instagram to congratulate Mbappe, sharing a collage of their photos with the caption: “How great my brother, for 1000 goals more… Enjoy!” He also expressed his hopes for the former PSG star to score many more goals for the club.
Mbappe’s arrival at Real Madrid has generated significant excitement among fans, and his performance against Stuttgart shows why he is considered one of the world’s best. As he continues to adapt to life in La Liga, his partnership with fellow stars like Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. will be crucial to Real Madrid’s aspirations this season.
With this victory, Real Madrid have started their Champions League campaign on a strong note, and all eyes will be on Mbappe as he aims to add to his growing legacy in European football.
