Kylian Mbappe is willing to follow along Cristiano Ronaldo footprints He is intent on forging his own path, but his goal scoring begs the comparison as he averages more than one goal per game as the Portuguese did in white. His latest show, this time with a brace at San Mames, confirms that he is in the form of a player in the world at the moment.
This season, he has 30 goals and seven assists in 24 games for Real Madrid (25 goals and four assists) and the French national team (five and three).
The former PSG man is also enjoying the best start to a campaign of his long career. While last season he exploded with Ancelotti from January onwards, Kylian is threatening one of CR7’s best records in Madrid. In 2025, the Frenchman could surpass the Portuguese as the top goalscorer in the club’s history in a calendar year. The ceiling was set by Cristiano with his 59 goals in 2013.
It won’t be easy, but compared to his averageit is very possible to think that the Frenchman could become the player with the most goals in the history of the white club in a calendar year before the end of the year.Mbappe, after his performance at San Mames, has now scored 55 goals since the start of 2025 in 55 games.but he still has five games left to equal or surpass him if he scores five more goals. Celts at the Bernabeu, City back home Alaves away and finally Seville at the Bernabeu, plus a fifth Copa del Rey a game that comes from the draw on December 9 and that Madrid will already be involved in to play a week later.
What stands out most about Mbappe’s 2025 is not just the goals, but the fact that he has scored them in 55 games, at the recognized match at San Mames, with one goal per game. Cristiano holds almost every goalscoring record in a calendar year for Madrid. Mbappe has already surpassed CR7 with 46 goals in 2010, 42 in 2016, 41 in 2017 and 44 in 2018. He equals the record set by the Portuguese in 2011, who scored 54 in 2015, 56 in 2014 and 58 in 2012.
It is already his highest scoring calendar year
Overall, last Golden boots winner (he also leads the current standings before Haaland) and Pichichi is about to complete his most productive year since his debut 10 years ago in Monaco. He is very close to closing it with a goal in a game or even over. When we add the seven he has scored with his national team, he has 62 in 62 games, one goal per game. His next best in one year is from 2022, with 56 goals (44 with PSG and 12 with France) in 56 games, also with a goal in a game.
