: Kylian Mbappé Named LaLiga Player of the Month for October 2026
Kylian Mbappé has been named LALIGA EA SPORTS Player of the Month for October 2026 after playing a decisive role in Real Madrid’s perfect three-match league run.
The French forward scored four goals in three LaLiga appearances during October, helping Real Madrid secure three consecutive victories against Villarreal, Sevilla and Barcelona.
Mbappé was unable to find the net in Real Madrid’s 1–0 victory over Villarreal, but responded emphatically in the following matches. He scored twice in the 4–1 win over Sevilla before producing another brace in the 2–1 El Clásico victory over Barcelona at Camp Nou.
His two goals against Barcelona proved particularly important, with the victory helping Real Madrid move to within three points of the league leaders. By the end of October, Mbappé had recorded 11 goals and two assists in LaLiga.
The 27-year-old won the award ahead of fellow nominees Lamine Yamal, Gonçalo Guedes, Alejandro Grimaldo and Matías Dituro. It is Mbappé’s second LaLiga Player of the Month award, having previously won the honour in January 2025.
Mbappé’s award also comes on the same day that Real Madrid manager José Mourinho was named LaLiga Manager of the Month for October after leading the team to the same perfect three-match record.
The recognition underlines Mbappé’s influence during a crucial period of Real Madrid’s campaign, particularly his ability to deliver in decisive matches and produce when his team needed him most.
