Confirmed: Kylian Mbappe wins La Liga Player of the Month award for October It is official. Real Madrid megastar Kylian Mbappe has been voted the La Liga Player of the Month for October. The France captain enjoyed a spectacular run of form during October, with fans choosing him as the Player of the Month ahead of several other top players, including Barcelona teenage sensation Lamine Yamal. In three La Liga appearances during the month of October, Mbappe scored four goals. Having failed to find the back of the net in the 1-0 win over Villarreal, the 27-year-old striker scored a double in the subsequent La Liga fixture against Sevilla, spearheading Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory. Mbappe followed it up with a match-winning brace in the all-important El Clasico against Barcelona at the Spotify Camp Nou, ending the Catalans’ winning streak in the competition. As such, the French forward has been named the La Liga Player of the Month for October. So far this season, the former PSG star has already racked up 17 goals and three assists from only 16 appearances in all competitions for the Spanish capital club. Mbappe’s triumph follows that of Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who was voted the La Liga Coach of the Month for October after the team won each of their three matches in the competition last month.
