"Kylian Mbappé has got off to a flying start for Real Madrid this season, and is nudging ever closer to the luminaries at the summit of the UEFA Champions League all-time top goal-scorer list. The prolific forward helped himself to a hat trick in his side's 5-0 demolition of Kazakhstan's Kairat Almaty to take his tally to five goals in just two games in Europe this season, swelling his career haul in the competition to 60 goals in total."
"The 26-year-old France international had already moved up a place in the order by scoring a brace in Madrid's 2-1 victory over Marseille on Matchday 1, and is now just 11 goals shy of cracking the top five. However, a considerable gulf remains between him and the top spot. The upper echelons of the scoring chart is positively cluttered with Real Madrid players, with half of the top 10 having represented the most successful club in European Cup history."
Kylian Mbappé scored a hat trick in Real Madrid's 5-0 win over Kairat Almaty, bringing his Champions League total to 60 goals from five goals in two European games this season. The total places him sixth on the official European Cup/Champions League all-time scoring chart, which excludes qualifiers and playoffs. Mbappé had earlier scored a brace in a 2-1 win over Marseille and sits eleven goals behind the top five, though a large gap separates him from the leading scorer. Half of the top 10 scorers have represented Real Madrid; Thierry Henry is tenth with 50 goals.
