After a Remarkable Scoring Season… Mbappé Nears Breaking Ronaldo’s Legendary Record at Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappé continues his explosive 2025 form and edges closer to Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic record as the top Real Madrid scorer in a single calendar year.
Kylian Mbappé’s remarkable 2025 run has placed him on the brink of overtaking one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s most celebrated Real Madrid records — the highest goal tally achieved by a Madrid player within a single calendar year.
The French superstar delivered another dazzling performance by scoring twice against Athletic Bilbao in Madrid’s 3–0 victory, lifting his total this season to 30 goals and 7 assists for both club and country.
Since the start of the year, Mbappé has netted 55 goals in 55 matches, inching ever closer to Ronaldo’s legendary 2013 mark of 59 goals. With only five matches left this year, the Madrid forward needs just five goals to equal or surpass the Portuguese icon’s tally.
His upcoming fixtures include clashes against Celta Vigo and Sevilla at the Bernabéu, Manchester City away, Alavés, and an additional Copa del Rey fixture yet to be determined — a schedule that offers ample opportunity for him to extend his scoring spree.
Numbers reveal that Mbappé has already overtaken several of Ronaldo’s yearly totals from earlier seasons, including 2010, 2016, 2017, and 2018, and he has matched the 2011 tally. He also sits ahead of Ronaldo’s counts from 2015, 2014, and 2012 — a sign of how close he is to the top of Madrid’s historical scoring charts.
Including his goals for France, Mbappé now stands at 62 goals in 62 matches for 2025 — the best scoring rate of his professional career, surpassing his previous record of 56 goals in 2022.
With Mbappé leading the European Golden Shoe race and rewriting La Liga scoring trends, Real Madrid appears poised to benefit from one of the most lethal versions of their new star — a player marching steadily toward rewriting the history Cristiano Ronaldo once dominated.
