Kylian Mbappé is on the verge of his 100th match for Real Madrid, and while trophies have been elusive, his goalscoring record already places him among the club’s all-time greats.
Here’s how his first 100 games stack up against Cristiano Ronaldo and other legendary forwards:
-
Goalscoring Feats: Mbappé is on course to win successive Pichichi (top scorer) awards in his first two La Liga seasons, a feat not accomplished by greats like Ronaldo, Alfredo di Stefano, or Ferenc Puskás.
-
Comparing to Ronaldo: While not quite matching Ronaldo’s astonishing total of 95 goals, Mbappé is among the club’s elite with 85 goals in his first 99 matches.
-
Goal Ratio Comparison: In terms of goals-per-game, his 0.86 ratio places him fourth among Los Blancos legends after two seasons, trailing Puskás, Ronaldo, and Di Stefano.
