The remarkable thing? He only needed seven minutes – or exactly six minutes and 42 seconds – to do it.
The joy quickly wore off for Olympiakos fans at home in Piraeus. Between minutes 22 and 29, the French world star struck and, suddenly, Real had turned a 0–1 deficit into a 3–1 lead.
Only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has been faster to score three consecutive goals, in the 7-1 victory against Glasgow Rangers in 2022 he needed no more than six minutes and twelve seconds.
Real Madrid eventually won 4–3 – and who scored the fourth goal if not Kylian Mbappé.
With those goals, Mbappé moved into the lead in the Champions League scoring charts. He now has nine goals scored, three more than Victor Osimhen, Galatasaray.
"I'm very happy, it's always fun to score," Mbappé told Movistar.
But the most important thing was the victory, the French star thought:
It was very important to win again, we know that three games without a win is a lot for us. I think we look good, but there are always things to improve and in a club like Real Madrid there is always talk.
