"Kylian Mbappe equalled Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid record for goals in a calendar year, as he netted in a 2-0 win over 10-man Sevilla. Madrid moved to within one point of LaLiga leaders Barcelona, who play their final game of 2025 on Sunday, by seeing off Matias Jesus Almeyda's team at Santiago Bernabeu. Mbappe scored Los Blancos' second goal, converting an 86th-minute penalty to net his 59th and final goal of the year. That came after he had hit the woodwork with a header."
"Mbappe's first few months at Madrid were tough, but ever since the start of this year, he has scaled dizzying heights. His 59 goals drew level with the Madrid record set by Ronaldo in 2013. In fact, only one player (Lionel Messi, 79 in 2012 for Barcelona) has netted more goals in one year for a club in Europe's top five leagues, across all competitions."
Kylian Mbappé finished 2025 with 59 goals for Real Madrid, matching Cristiano Ronaldo's single-year club record. He converted an 86th-minute penalty to seal a 2-0 victory over Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabéu. Madrid reduced the gap to LaLiga leaders Barcelona to one point after the win. Rodrygo set up Jude Bellingham for the opener and won the spot-kick for Mbappé. Sevilla were down to 10 men after Marcao's sending off in the 68th minute. Mbappé averaged a goal every 83 minutes in 2025 and registered nine shots in the match, with multiple attempts hitting the woodwork.
