Mbappé's second hat trick within a month defeated Manchester City and sent Madrid to the Champions League round of 16.
Kylian Mbappé was the star of the show when Real Madrid Manchester City dumped out of the Champions League from 2024/25 in a emphatic way. The Frenchman scored his second hat trick for Los Blancos since he came to Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
The real Kylian Mbappé
After a relatively slow start of this time in the Spanish capital, the 26-year-old begins to show the targeted form that has been expected of him all the time. Mbappé started 2025 with a three-game goals drought, but has since signaled 14 times in 11 performances, so that he has brought 28 goals in 38 games for the season so far.
After the victory over the city, the captain of France was asked if he would focus on 50 goals in his debut season.
“I want and I always believe I can do it! I have a total belief in myself, but I don't want to set any limits. If I can score 50, perfect … but if I can score more than that, I will try ”.
Mbappé with striving for Real Madrid Milestone only one man has ever reached
Only one player in the history of Real Madrid once scored 50 goals or more in a season, and it will probably not be a too much surprise to discover his name.
Cristiano Ronaldo not only achieved that milestone, but only did this less than six times, in successive seasons between 2010/11 and 2015/16. The Portuguese even achieved two times 60 goals (60 in 2011/12 and 61 in 2014/15).
40 target seasons for Real Madrid
Some other controversial names have tried and are just short. Alfredo di Stefano, Ferenc Puskás, Hugo Sánchez and Karim Benzema all scored at least 40 goals in a season for Madrid, which certainly seems to be a realistic goal for Mbappé to match.
