Madrid settled the game in the second half, with Mbappe making it 1-0 fresh out of the dressing room. Tchouameni's through ball picked out Rodrygo and the Brazilian squared for Mbappe to tap in and grab his first Champions League goal as a Madridista, his third in a row in all competitions (four goals).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He almost doubled his tally but Stuttgart goalkeeper Alexander N\u00fcbel stood tall to deny the Frenchman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It\u2019s what he does, I'm not surprised at all. I didn't even realise it was his debut, I just thought it's another game he'll score in. He always delivers so far, it's a lot of pressure coming to a club like Madrid, but he's taken to it really easily and the lads love him already. He's going to be a huge player for us, this season and beyond,\" said Bellingham to TNT Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Overall, Mbappe has scored 49 goals in 74 UEFA Champions League appearances, taking the competition by storm ever since bursting onto the scene with Monaco in 2016\/17. Still just 25, the France forward is already up to ninth on the list of all-time Champions League scorers (excluding qualifying), level with Zlatan Ibrahimoviv and Andriy Shevchenko inside the top ten.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
