The Real Madrid striker wrote more score history in the Champions League after scoring against Manchester City.
Manchester City and Real Madrid treated fans to another Champions League classic in the first stage of their round of 16 confrontation in the Etihad Stadium, where the men of Carlo Ancelotti took a dramatic victory thanks to a last goal of Jude Bellingham.
Mbappé up to ninth
Kylian Mbappé made his mark at the perfect moment – just when Real Madrid needed him the most. With an acrobatic finish in the 60th minute, he drew his his level and shifted the momentum back in favor of the Spanish giants after it had put the air blues in itself.
This goal was especially for Mbappé, because it was his 52nd in the Champions League, who told him on Thierry Henry, with whom he was bound. The milestone places him ninth on the score list of the tournament of all time.
Benzema Only Frenchman to catch
Moreover, Mbappé is now the second highest French goal scorer in the history of Champions League, with only another Real Madrid legend, Karim Benzema, who delivered 90 times in the competition and remains the fourth top scorer of the tournament.
Mbappé scores against the city again
Manchester City remains one of Mbappé's favorite opponents, because the French attacker again found the net on the side of Pep Guardiola.
This was his first goal against City since the 2021-22 season, and with his last strike for Madrid he now has four goals in six performances against the Premier League champions.
