Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé is closing in on Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarkable benchmark of 59 goals in a single calendar year for the club.
The French star has already scored 55 goals in 2025 and needs just four more to surpass the record set by his childhood idol.Head coach Xabi Alonso has drawn clear parallels between the two players, highlighting Mbappé’s relentless drive and decisive influence on matches.
Alonso described the 26-year-old as belonging to a rare elite group of players, stating that he possesses the same extraordinary ambition and match-winning quality that defined Ronaldo during his time at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Mbappé’s scoring form this season has been exceptional, with 16 goals coming in just 15 La Liga appearances and another nine registered across five UEFA Champions League matches.
His efficiency in front of goal has made him the focal point of Real Madrid’s attack.With four fixtures remaining in 2025, Mbappé has a genuine opportunity to eclipse Ronaldo’s long-standing club record and further cement his status among the all-time greats at Real Madrid.
