Sometimes it’s just time that can take you into record books. One of the more exciting things about being an athlete is having them to your name. Whether an individual or a team, they are celebrated across all sports. But it’s the uniqueness of the milestone that makes you part of trivia. The distinctiveness of this record is that it is being measured in thousands within just a few days. However, what connects this record with Real Madrid’s alternative for Kylian Mbappe and vandalization by fans?
Los Blancos has always been the team that attracts young talents, but they have a plan B if they can’t sign PSG’s Mbappe. The uncertainty around his joining the Spanish giants is pushing them to look for another forward. This potential target reached a record amid a furious ruckus from the fans of a top club.
