Kylian Mbappe keeps proving his elite level as he becomes the quickest player in the 21st century to score 395 goals, driving Real Madrid’s impressive performance in La Liga and the Champions League this season.
Kylian Mbappe has etched his name in football history as the fastest player of the 21st century to officially reach 395 goals, achieving this milestone before turning 27. Even Lionel Messi never managed this feat, having scored 394 goals before his 27th birthday.
Real Madrid’s blockbuster signing has finally yielded “fruitful” results. The French star quickly became the focal point in the club’s ambitious rebuilding project.
After a challenging adaptation period, Mbappe shone brilliantly by winning the 2024/25 European Golden Shoe and continues to maintain explosive form this season. His latest goal against Getafe further cements his legendary status at Real Madrid.
In an unbelievably hot streak, Mbappe has netted 10 goals in just 9 La Liga matches for Real Madrid, a feat only three Los Blancos legends have achieved in the past 70 years: Alfredo Di Stéfano, Amancio Amaro, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The seamless combination of Mbappe - Vinicius - Guler is forming a fearsome attack. All four of Guler’s assists found Mbappe’s feet and resulted in goals, while Vinicius has assisted the French star twice. Mbappe has also returned the favor with two assists for his teammates. This trio is becoming Real’s new goal-scoring machine, helping Los Blancos maintain a top position in La Liga and aiming for the summit of the Champions League.
Mbappe is currently delivering a devastating scoring rate: averaging a goal every 62 minutes, requiring only 1.7 shots per goal — far surpassing last season’s stats (107 minutes per goal, 2.9 shots per goal). If he keeps up this pace, the French star could finish the season with 84 goals, a number that threatens Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 61 goals set in the 2014/15 season.
