Kylian Mbappé continues to etch his name into Real Madrid’s storied history. The French forward scored a brace from the penalty spot against Olympique de Marseille, leading his team to a 2-1 victory in the Champions League.
With this performance, he has reached the remarkable milestone of 50 goals in just 64 appearances for Los Blancos.
In doing so, Mbappé eclipses the legendary Zinédine Zidane, who netted 49 goals in 227 matches during his time with the club from 2001 to 2006.
This achievement propels Mbappé to the 46th spot on the all-time scoring list for Real Madrid, establishing him as one of the club’s top scorers.
Mbappé’s Record-Breaking Journey at Real Madrid
Against Marseille, the former Paris Saint-Germain star showcased his incredible efficiency. He remains undefeated in 17 encounters with the Phocaeans, boasting 15 wins and 2 draws.
His two recent goals bring his tally against Marseille to 12, making them one of his favorite opponents, tied with Dijon and Metz. Only Montpellier (15 goals) and Lyon (13 goals) have suffered more at his hands.
In a press conference, Madrid’s coach Xabi Alonso praised his star striker, stating, ’50 goals? That’s quite impressive. He’s in top form, and I’m happy to work with him daily as we have much more to achieve together.
He possesses a strong personality, and I’m very pleased with that.’ With this new record, Mbappé is already on his way to becoming a club legend, and at just 26 years old, he shows no signs of slowing down.
