Kylian Mbapp has shown that he is a player who can carry a club like Real Madrid on his back, and so far his contract has brought in huge profits, with people talking about him matching the numbers of the club’s last legend, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The French forward scored again, achieving his year-end goal of reaching 59 goals in 2025, equaling the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2013.
Images of Mbapp celebrating in Cristiano’s iconic style went viral around the world, serving as a tribute to Mbapp’s biggest idol, the Portuguese star, something the French player has made clear on numerous occasions.
Message from Mbappu to Cristiano
“It’s unbelievable. To be able to do what Cristiano, my idol and the greatest player in Real Madrid’s history, did in my first year.”
“He was always kind to me, spoke very highly of Madrid and taught me how to adapt here,” the Real Madrid star revealed in the post-match interview.
“This celebration was for him. He has always been good to me and helped me settle in Madrid, so I wanted to give him a little nod. Now it’s my turn to help Madrid win, and today I wanted to share that with him. We have a great relationship. He’s my friend now. I, along with all the Madridistas, send my greetings to him and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”
The French striker has only needed four months to adapt to his debut season at Real Madrid and has already taken on the leadership role the team needs. His numbers are out of this world, with 59 of Real Madrid’s 140 total goals this year, accounting for 42% of the team’s goals.
Kylian Mbappu is the real deal. There is still plenty of time for him to build an even bigger legacy at the club.
