A comparison between Mbappé and Lamine Gamal’s numbers before El Clásico | sports

Real Madrid will host tomorrow, Sunday, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the first Clásico of the 2025-2026 season against Barcelona at the top of the tenth round of the Spanish League, where the winner will rise to the top of the standings.

Real Madrid is at the top of the La Liga table, two points behind Barcelona, ​​which is in second place, and the importance of the match for the two teams cannot be underestimated.

During the big confrontation, the spotlight will be on the competition between Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Gamal, the best strikers in the world of football at the present time, and one of them is scheduled to be the winning maker in El Clásico.

Mbappe and Lamine Jamal have previously met 8 times with clubs and the national team. The Spaniard achieved 7 wonderful victories, while the Frenchman achieved only one victory.

In 4 Clásico matches during the 2024-2025 season, Lamine Gamal excelled in them: twice in the Spanish League (4-0 and 4-3), once in the Spanish Super Cup final (5-2), and once in the Copa del Rey final (3-2).

A look at Mbappe and Lamine Gamal’s performances this season and throughout their careers:

Objectives

Mbappe is performing great for Real Madrid this season in all competitions, scoring 15 goals in 12 matches, including 10 goals in 9 matches in the Spanish League.

In total, the French striker scored 59 goals in 71 matches with Real Madrid, while he succeeded in scoring 256 goals in 308 matches with Paris Saint-Germain, and 27 goals in 60 matches with Monaco.

Mbappe scored 53 goals in 93 international matches with the France national team, and it would not be surprising if he led his country to glory in the World Cup next year.

Meanwhile, Lamine Jamal is still in the early stage of his career, but the 18-year-old’s numbers are still impressive, as he scored 28 goals in 122 matches with Barcelona in various competitions.

The striker also scored 6 goals in 23 international matches for Spain, and is set to be a vital player for La Roja’s national team in the 2026 World Cup, as the European champions are one of the favorites to win the cup.

In the Spanish League, Mbappe scored 41 goals in 43 matches, while the Spaniard scored 16 goals in 78 matches.

Making goals

Mbappé provided 7 assists in total with Real Madrid, including two this season, while he succeeded in providing 110 assists with Paris Saint-Germain and 16 assists with Monaco.

It is interesting that Mbappe’s role at Real Madrid is different from the role he played at Paris Saint-Germain, where he was expected to create and score goals, while at Real Madrid he is seen as a striker.

With the French national team, the striker has 39 assists, which is a record.

Meanwhile, the Barcelona talent has made 39 assists in his 113 appearances for the Blaugrana, and the teenager has also provided 12 assists for Spain in 23 appearances, demonstrating his importance at La Roja.

Defense contribution

In fact, neither player is particularly involved in the defensive side of his team.

Lamine Djemal is set to start on the right against Real Madrid, and will be allowed to influence the game in the final third of the pitch, while Pedri and Frenkie de Jong will have to work hard in Barcelona’s midfield.

As for Mbappe, he will play as a striker in a 4-3-3 formation, with Vinicius Junior and Franco Mastantuno expected to feature on the flanks.

Neither Lamine Jamal nor Mbappe will be expected to contribute much defensively in El Clásico tomorrow, Sunday, and they are – among the very few players in the world of football – who can escape accountability due to their amazing quality in the final third of the field.
