Kylian Mbappe joins Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi & Ruud van Nistelrooy in exclusive Champions League club after netting crucial goal for Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich

Milestone reached at the Bernabeu

Madrid’s talisman provided a vital lifeline

Jose Altafini, Van Nistelrooy, Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema have also reached the 14-goal mark in the past.

Climbing the all-time charts

The statistics underscore a remarkable trajectory for Mbappe since his maiden continental goal against Manchester City nearly a decade ago. Over the course of 97 appearances for Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real, the forward has now amassed an incredible 69 goals, which puts him sixth in the all-time Champions League goal rankings. His current return in 2025-26 is particularly impressive given it doubles his entire output from the previous year’s competition, reaffirming his role as the most decisive figure in the Madrid attack.

Chasing the ultimate record

The forward is now only three goals away from matching the all-time Champions League record for a single campaign, established by Ronaldo during the 2013-14 season. To surpass that legendary 17-goal benchmark, the Frenchman must find the net four more times, while just one additional strike would see him equal the 15-goal tallies of Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema.

A defining trip to Munich
