On-loan Barcelona star Vitor Roque levels Kylian Mbappé

A head-turning statistic, highlighting the respective goalscoring tallies of Kylian Mbappé and Vitor Roque across the season to date, has on Sunday come to the fore online.

This comes after the latter found the net for the latest occasion this afternoon.

On-loan Barcelona man Roque was afforded his latest start a short time ago, in Real Betis’ La Liga meeting with Celta Vigo.

And, en route to an eventual 2-2 draw, the 19-year-old drew Betis on level terms late in the first-half.

After finding space near the edge of the Celta penalty area, Roque was the recipient of a perfect pull-back on the part of Johnny Cardoso, with the Brazilian having made no mistake with a pinpoint finish into the far corner.

And, as alluded to above, as much gave rise to a statistic which will no doubt bring a collective smile to the faces of those of a Barcelona persuasion.

As revealed by StatMuse on ‘X’, Vitor Roque has now scored the same number of non-penalty goals (5) as Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappé this season:
