Kylian Mbappe handed brand new nickname at Real Madrid after stunning strike against Sevilla confirms superstar's return to form

Mbappe has had a difficult start to his journey at Real Madrid since completing his dream move to the Spanish giants from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer. The French forward, however, confirmed his recent return to form with a stunning opening goal in Los Blancos' 4-2 win over Sevilla on Sunday in their final match of 2024.

With the France captain now slowly adjusting to life in Spain, his colleagues have reportedly come up with a new nickname for the attacker and now call him "Mbappepinazo" in the dressing room, according to Defensa Central. The name refers to the 25-year-old's ability to fire goals from outside the box with powerful and precise shots.

Despite a slow start at his new club, Mbappe has managed to score 13 goals across all competitions and 10 in La Liga. He has also provided three assists overall in 23 appearances. In December, he has scored five goals in six games in La Liga and Champions League action.

Carlo Ancelotti's side will be back in action after the short winter break on January 3 as they take on Valencia in La Liga away from home.
