Kylian Mbappé only needs to find the back of the net five more times in 2025 to become the player with the most goals scored in a calendar year for Real Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo has held the crown for the last 12 years; the Portuguese icon scored 59 goals in 2013 for Los Blancos, the most by any player to don the white shirt.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stéfano and Karim Benzema never mounted a campaign that could touch the record set by the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, but Mbappé is chasing the small bit of history after a blistering start to the season.
The Frenchman already has 25 goals to his name across all competitions in 2025–26, adding to the 30 he scored in the second half of his debut season. Now sitting at 55 goals with five more matches to go in the calendar year, Mbappé is just five away from surpassing Ronaldo’s name in the Real Madrid history books.
