Kylian Mbappé has been awarded La Liga Player of the Month for October, claiming the honor for the first time in a year following his previous win in October 2025.
The French forward guided Real Madrid to victory in all three of their La Liga fixtures in October, a month that saw Los Blancos shake off their slow start to the season and rediscover their top form.
An impressive showing in the 1–0 victory over Villarreal was followed by a two-goal effort in the 4–1 thrashing of Sevilla. Then, in the most high-profile La Liga match of the season to date, Mbappé netted twice at the Camp Nou as Los Blancos shattered Barcelona's flawless domestic record with a stunning 2–1 victory in the opening El Clásico of the season. Along the way, Mbappé reached the milestone of 100 goals in a Real Madrid jersey.
Mbappé overshadowed Lamine Yamal in El Clásico and helped Real Madrid trim Barcelona's lead at the top of the table to just three points. Consequently, the Frenchman edged out Yamal, Gonçalo Guedes, Alejandro Grimaldo, and Matías Dituro to join Raphinha as one of two La Liga Player of the Month recipients in the 2026–27 season so far.
The accolade brings an end to Mbappé's year-long wait for the recognition. The 27-year-old has now claimed the La Liga Player of the Month award four times since his arrival at Real Madrid, tying Yamal for the most wins during that period.
With two additional goals to open November, Mbappé's La Liga tally for the season stands at 13, just two behind Raphinha, placing him in a strong position to contend for a third straight Pichichi trophy.
Joe Mourinho Named La Liga Manager of the Month
Mbappé wasn't the only Real Madrid figure to receive recognition from La Liga, as José Mourinho also claimed the Manager of the Month award for October.
Since club football resumed after the September-October international break, Mourinho has decisively quieted critics who questioned his ability to manage one of the world's elite clubs. Real Madrid swept all three of their October La Liga matches and have been playing some of their most impressive football in recent memory.
Mourinho's finest moment came in El Clásico, where he thoroughly outmaneuvered Hansi Flick tactically, with every call he made — from the initial game plan to his substitutions — proving spot on. In his long-awaited return to El Clásico, Mourinho demonstrated he remains "The Special One," inflicting the German coach's first home defeat in the fixture and snapping Barcelona's run of 23 consecutive home league wins.
The Portuguese tactician predictably edged out Diego Simeone and Pellegrino Matarazzo to claim the monthly honor. Notably, this marks Mourinho's first time winning the award, which was introduced during the 2013–14 season — after his first stint at the Bernabéu had already concluded.
With this recognition, Mourinho becomes the first Real Madrid manager to win the award since Xabi Alonso did so in August 2025.
Heading into the November international break, Real Madrid have strung together six consecutive La Liga wins and eight straight victories across all competitions. As the 2026–27 season intensifies, Mourinho has transformed Real Madrid into genuine title contenders on both the domestic and European fronts — a feat that, while perhaps expected, had not been the reality over the previous two campaigns.
