Mbappé scores twice to reach 62 goals this year, with 4 matches remaining to challenge Ronaldo's 69 and Messi's unmatched 91 goals

This week, La Liga featured two matches in seven days. Real Madrid secured a 3-0 away victory over Athletic Bilbao, with Mbappé delivering a solo run, a headed assist, and a stunning long-range goal. He was directly involved in all three goals, scoring twice and assisting once, proving to be the key player in Madrid's win. After this match, most fans consider Mbappé the top active footballer. His brace increased his total goals across all competitions this year to 62 in 63 games.

According to statistics, Mbappé's 62 goals have propelled him to fifth place on the 21st century calendar year scoring chart. He still has 4 matches left this year, namelyhome games against Celta and Manchester City, and an away match against Alavésanda home game versus Sevilla. If Mbappé manages to score 7 or more goals in these remaining 4 matches, he will challenge the calendar year record of 69 goals jointly held by Lewandowski (2021) and Ronaldo (2013).

Given Mbappé's current form and scoring rate, it is quite possible for him to break the second-highest calendar year goal record. However, the top record of 91 goals in a calendar year, set by Messi in 2012, remains far beyond reach—a legendary achievement unlikely to be matched or surpassed. Unless a new football king emerges in the future, Messi's 91-goal record will stand unbroken forever!
