Kylian Mbappé celebrated his first hat trick for Real Madrid in a resounding 3-0 victory against Real Valladolid, but emphasized that individual accolades hold less importance than the team's success in La Liga. Scoring in the 30th and 57th minutes, along with a penalty in stoppage time, Mbappé's performance not only secured the win but also propelled Madrid to the top of the league table with 49 points, four ahead of Atlético Madrid.

Post-match, Mbappé expressed his satisfaction with the victory, stating, "I'm happy with the hat trick, but I'm more happy with the win." He highlighted the pressure to perform following Atlético's earlier draw against Villarreal, underlining the significance of securing points in the title race. With this hat trick, Mbappé has now netted 15 goals in La Liga this season, contributing to a total of 22 across all competitions.

Despite his teammates' aspirations for him to become La Liga's top scorer, Mbappé reiterated that winning the league is his primary goal. He stated, "If I'm top scorer, great—I've done it a lot of times in my career—but winning the league is the most important thing for me." Coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Mbappé as potentially "the best centre-forward in the world," noting his recent form and adaptability on the pitch, further solidifying his integral role in the team's quest for silverware.
