Kylian Mbappé is now the sixth all-time leading goalscorer in Champions League history, putting him one step closer to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the competition’s record books.
The Frenchman continued his prolific start to 2025–26, bagging a hat trick in Real Madrid’s 5–0 victory over Kairat. Mbappé buried his first of the night from the spot, his second on the counter attack with a cheeky chip over the goalkeeper and his third with the smash of his right foot at the edge of the box.
At just 26 years old, Mbappé has now found the back of the net 60 times in the Champions League. The Real Madrid forward, who was previously tied with Thomas Müller on the competition’s all-time scoring list, now officially has sole possession of sixth place.
Mbappé managed the feat in just 89 appearances on Europe’s biggest stage; it took Müller 163 appearances to bag his total of 57.
