Mbappé on the Brink of Surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s Historic Scoring Record at Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappé continues to make a decisive impact at Real Madrid and is now just steps away from matching one of the most legendary scoring records in the club’s history. With his current form, Mbappé needs only four more goals to equal a milestone set by Cristiano Ronaldo.

The record in question belongs to the most goals scored by a Real Madrid player in a single calendar year—a mark Cristiano Ronaldo established in 2013 with 59 goals. Mbappé has enjoyed a prolific 2025, bringing himself within striking distance of that iconic achievement.

The French forward recently closed out the league phase with outstanding numbers and has also made a strong impact in European competition, where he ranks among the tournament’s most efficient scorers. His goal-scoring run has already seen him surpass benchmarks previously held by some of Europe’s most renowned players.

Mbappé has broken individual records that place him among the elite in recent UEFA Champions League history, while remaining Real Madrid’s primary attacking force across all competitions.

The record Mbappé is chasing was set during a season in which Cristiano Ronaldo shone for Real Madrid and cemented his status as one of the most prolific goal scorers the sport has ever seen.

So far this year, Mbappé has amassed a remarkable goal tally, leaving him just four goals shy of equaling Ronaldo’s historic mark. With a busy schedule and several matches still to play, the French striker has a clear opportunity to further etch his name into Real Madrid’s record books if he maintains his current pace.

The pursuit of matching—and potentially surpassing—Cristiano Ronaldo’s record continues to fuel Mbappé’s performances, generating growing anticipation over whether he can achieve this historic feat before the season comes to an end.
