Kylian Mbappé reached 100 goals for Real Madrid in 116 matches, becoming the 23rd-highest scorer in club history after a two-goal performance in El Clásico against Barcelona. The 27-year-old French forward now trails teammate Vinícius Júnior (128 goals) and Rodrygo (71), while Jude Bellingham has 49. Mbappé surpassed legends like Hugo Sánchez and Ronaldo Nazário, reaching the century faster than Ferenc Puskás's record timeline.
Only four Madrid greats—Puskás, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pahíño, and Di Stéfano—reached 100 goals in fewer games. Cristiano Ronaldo remains the all-time leading scorer with 451 goals in 438 matches, meaning Mbappé would need 352 more goals to surpass him. Mbappé was runner-up in the Ballon d'Or ceremony, with Harry Kane winning ahead of Lamine Yamal.
Despite being La Liga's top scorer in his first two seasons, Mbappé has yet to win major trophies with Madrid. He maintains consistent form with 14 goals in 13 appearances this season after joining on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in June 2024. Mbappé also became France's all-time leading scorer and the top scorer in men's World Cup history with 10 goals in Qatar. "I'm very happy," Mbappé said, "but the most important thing is the team's victory.".
