Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid has equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for most goals in a UEFA Champions League group stage after his stellar performance against AS Monaco. The French forward scored twice in a 6-1 win at the Bernabeu, bringing his tally to 11 goals in six matches this season.
Mbappe opened the scoring in the fifth minute with a precise finish from Federico Valverde’s pass and later headed home a cross from Vinicius Jr in the 26th minute. His remarkable run now puts him alongside Ronaldo, who also scored 11 goals in the 2015-16 group stage.
The 27-year-old is poised to challenge Ronaldo’s record of 17 goals in a single Champions League season, with Real Madrid’s final group stage match against Benfica providing the opportunity. Mbappe’s form continues to make him one of the deadliest forwards in European football, thrilling fans and reinforcing his growing legacy at Los Blancos.
