59 Goals in 2025
Kylian Mbappé, the French superstar, once again showcased his talent on Saturday night, helping Real Madrid secure a 2-0 victory against Sevilla in LaLiga. In this match, the 27-year-old, who has recently been recognized as one of the most valuable players in the world on Transfermarkt, scored a crucial late penalty that solidified Madrid’s win and alleviated some pressure on coach Xabi Alonso.
With this performance, Madrid’s No.9 has now scored in all but six of their matches this season, bringing his total to 29 goals. Coupled with his significant contributions from the latter half of last season, Mbappé has equaled the record for the most goals in a calendar year for Los Blancos, previously set by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Since the beginning of 2025, Mbappé has netted 59 goals in 59 matches across all club competitions, placing him ahead of his rivals in Europe’s top five leagues. This remarkable achievement not only highlights Mbappé’s prowess but also allows him to match the record established by Ronaldo in the Spanish capital. While he narrowly missed surpassing his idol, his goal on Saturday night ensured he levels with him. Notably, Ronaldo holds the record for scoring 59 goals in a single calendar year for Real Madrid and boasts three additional records in the top five.
