How Mbappe's start at Real Madrid compares to greats like Ronaldo, Benzema
"Kylian Mbappé has reached 75 games with Real Madrid and is in his best form since joining the club, but he still has a long way to go when compared some of Madrid's most historic goal scorers. Mbappé is the standout player on Xabi Alonso's team and his goals are the reason why they are top of LaLiga and in the top eight of the UEFA Champions League's league phase. The 26-year-old France captain is the top scorer in LaLiga, with 13 goals, and the second-highest scorer in the Champions League, with five. However, he has had a slight dip in an otherwise impressive scoring streak as he has gone two games in a row without scoring, against Liverpool and Rayo Vallecano. Mbappé did get on the scoresheet in his most-recent match, scoring two in France's 4-0 win over Ukraine on Nov. 13 before withdrawing from the squad the following day. However, he is expected to be fit for Madrid's trip to Elche on Sunday (stream LIVE at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN+ in the U.S.)."
"Mbappé's goal tally puts him near the top of Real Madrid's all-time scoring charts when it comes to his first 75 games at the club, surpassing Karim Benzema, equalling Hugo Sánchez, and putting him closely behind Ronaldo Nazário and Cristiano Ronaldo. The 26-year-old has scored 62 goals in those 75 games, helping the team achieve a record of 52 wins, six draws, and 17 losses. Among those games are 14 in which he has scored two or more goals, and four hat tricks. All of this has been spread out over 6,140 minutes of play. However, Mbappé has yet to make his mark in big games since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024. With him on their side, Los Blancos have only beaten Barcelona once (although he did score the opening goal in that 2-1 win last month) and have lost El Cl&aacute"
Kylian Mbappé has played 75 matches for Real Madrid and scored 62 goals, producing 14 multi-goal games and four hat tricks across 6,140 minutes. He leads LaLiga with 13 goals and ranks second in the Champions League with five goals, though he experienced a two-game scoreless run against Liverpool and Rayo Vallecano. He scored twice for France in a 4-0 win over Ukraine and then withdrew from the squad, but is expected to be available for Real Madrid's trip to Elche. His first 75 games place him ahead of Karim Benzema and level with Hugo Sánchez, yet he remains behind Ronaldo Nazário and Cristiano Ronaldo and has struggled to consistently influence the club's biggest matches since joining from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024.
