In his first two appearances, Mbappe has struggled to score despite being hailed as one of the most prolific forwards in modern football.

Against Real Valladolid, he missed two significant opportunities to break his goal drought, per ESPN.

With a commanding two-goal lead for Madrid, Mbappe was substituted in the 86th minute.

His replacement, Endrick Felipe, who was debuting for Los Blancos, managed to capitalise on his chance and score, securing a 3-0 victory.

This win was a relief for Carlo Ancelotti's side, who had previously drawn their opening match against Mallorca.
