Kylian Mbappe has reached an extraordinary milestone, scoring his 60th goal of 2025 during Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw against Girona. The French striker’s penalty converted him into one of football’s most exclusive clubs, placing him alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Robert Lewandowski as the only modern-era players to achieve this remarkable feat. His accomplishment also echoes Just Fontaine’s historic 1958 record, cementing Mbappe’s place in football folklore.
Scoring Across Every Competition
What makes Mbappe’s achievement particularly impressive is his consistency across all competitions. The 25-year-old has found the back of the net in La Liga fixtures, Champions League knockouts, and French international matches. This demonstrates not just prolific finishing but also the ability to perform when the stakes are highest. His goal-scoring prowess has transformed the narrative around his transfer to Madrid, proving he can handle the pressure of wearing the club’s iconic number seven shirt.
Leading Real Madrid Forward
Despite Madrid’s struggle away from home and the resulting frustration from their draw at Girona, Mbappe remains the beating heart of the team. Since January, his influence has been transformative, lifting younger attackers and driving the club forward in Europe. For France, he continues to be the principal force, guiding them through qualifiers as a genuine contender for major tournaments. As 2025 concludes, Mbappe isn’t merely chasing legends anymore—he is becoming one himself.
