Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a> has been thriving at the start of the 2025\u201326 season with Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants showing a growing reliance on their star to deliver results. After scoring again against Deportivo Alav\u00e9s, Mbapp\u00e9 is now on the verge of breaking one of Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>\u2019s most iconic goal-scoring records at the club.<\/p>\n

With head coach Xabi Alonso under pressure to show improvement amid a challenging stretch, Real Madrid<\/a> traveled to face Alav\u00e9s on Sunday for Matchday 16 of La Liga. In the 2-1 victory, Mbapp\u00e9 opened the scoring with a brilliant solo effort in the 24th minute, a goal that moved him one step closer to history.<\/p>\n

Mbapp\u00e9 has now scored 56 goals in the 2025 calendar year for Real Madrid and needs just four more to become the club\u2019s all-time single-year top scorer. The record is currently held by Cristiano Ronaldo, who set the benchmark with 59 goals in 2013 during his time at the Bernab\u00e9u.<\/p>\n

After a slow start following his arrival from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024, 2025 has marked a dramatic turnaround for Mbapp\u00e9 at Real Madrid. He scored 30 goals across all competitions in the first half of the year, including one at the FIFA Club World Cup, and has added another 26 so far this season, producing a staggering total.<\/p>\n

Mbapp\u00e9 has become the only player outside of Ronaldo to crack Real Madrid\u2019s top five list for goals in a calendar year, with the Portuguese legend occupying the remaining spots. The list currently stands as follows:<\/p>\n

Cristiano Ronaldo \u2014 2013: 59 goals.Cristiano Ronaldo \u2014 2012: 58 goals.Cristiano Ronaldo \u2014 2014: 56 goals.Kylian Mbappe \u2014 2025: 56 goals.Cristiano Ronaldo \u2014 2015: 54 goals. How many chances does Mbapp\u00e9 have left? <\/p>\n

The goal against Alav\u00e9s leaves Mbapp\u00e9 tied with one of Ronaldo\u2019s seasons at 56 goals. He is two goals shy of Ronaldo\u2019s 58-goal campaign and three away from the all-time mark of 59, a record he will be eager to chase with limited opportunities remaining as the calendar year winds down.<\/p>\n

With Sunday\u2019s match now in the books, Real Madrid have just two games left in 2025. The next comes Wednesday, December 17, against Talavera CF in the Copa del Rey Round of 32, presenting a prime opportunity for Mbapp\u00e9 to add to his tally.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid will then close out the year at home against Sevilla on Saturday, December 20, for Matchday 17 of La Liga. With the next fixture not scheduled until January 4 against Real Betis, Mbapp\u00e9 will need at least three goals to match Ronaldo\u2019s record and four to surpass it, an achievement that would mark a historic statement just 18 months into his Real Madrid career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 has been thriving at the start of the 2025\u201326 season with Real Madrid, with the Spanish…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349276,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,9522,174099,451,65679,3,4898,452,453],"class_list":{"0":"post-349275","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-breaking-news","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-cristiano-ronaldo","11":"tag-deportivo-alaves","12":"tag-headlines","13":"tag-kylian-mbappe","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-real-madrid","16":"tag-top-stories","17":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
