"Kylian Mbappe was once again Real Madrid's match-winner on Tuesday, converting two penalties against Marseille in the Champions League to take his tally to 50 goals for the club. He reached the milestone in 64 appearances, the fewest for Real since Cristiano Ronaldo, who did so in only 54 games following his move from Manchester United in 2009. Former Real striker Karim Benzema took 106 games, while Mbappe's team-mate Vinicius Jr needed 200."
"Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo went on to win four Champions League titles and two La Liga titles in nine years at Real and scored a club record 450 goals. Mbappe did not win a domestic trophy during his first season at the Bernabeu and also missed out on a first Champions League title, which was won by former club Paris St-Germain."
"But, while PSG evolved successfully in Mbappe's absence, the 26-year-old has brought a new dimension to Real's attack. He scored 44 times in 56 matches in all competitions last term and has carried that form into the new campaign, registering six goals in five outings. This summer Mbappe took the iconic number 10 shirt left vacant by Luka Modric's departure and previously worn by Real legends Ferenc Puskas and Luis Figo."
