The French striker will join Sevilla at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u in a complicated situation for Real Madrid. There is a tense atmosphere around the team and Xabi Alonso is under scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>But for the Whites&#8217; number 10, it could be a night that will go down in the club&#8217;s history. Mbappe needs one more goal to equal Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s record for most goals scored in a season for Real Madrid. The Portuguese player set a record with 59 goals in 2013, but the Frenchman is already within reach of this number. If he scores two goals, he could surpass that record and finish 2025 with 60 goals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Kylian Mbapp scores an incredible goal during Real Madrid&#8217;s training session<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">No awards, but an eternal record<\/h2>\n<p>Achieved potential does not come with an instant trophy. It will be a purely statistical record that will go down in the history of the club. Mbapp\u00e9 has already won individual awards this season and will be awarded the Golden Boot for the 2024\/25 season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote\">\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo made history with Real Madrid, I want to pave my own path<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote-author\">Kylian Mbappu<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Still, the striker himself recognizes that the team is not at its best and has made it clear that he would trade individual records for collective titles.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Xabi Alonso&#8217;s influence and elite numbers<\/h2>\n<p>Outside of context, Mbapp\u00e9 is enjoying one of the most productive periods of his career. Under manager Xabi Alonso, the Frenchman reached outstanding heights. In 2025, he scored 58 goals in 58 games, but this season he has scored 28 goals and provided 5 assists in just 23 games.In La Liga, he leads Pichichi with 17 goals in 17 games, and in the Champions League, he is also the top scorer with 9 goals in 5 games, including 4 goals against Olympiakos. Mbappe is close to Harry Kane and Erling Haaland in the race for the next Golden Boot.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">best year of his career<\/h2>\n<p>Globally, Mbapp\u00e9 will finish this year as the highest scorer of his professional career. Adding in his goals for Real Madrid and the French national team, he now has 65 goals in 65 games. His previous best record was in 2022, when he scored 56 goals in 56 games between PSG and France.<\/p>\n<p>Mbappe has always acknowledged Cristiano Ronaldo as one of his great references, but insists he does not compare himself to him. &#8220;Cristiano is Madrid&#8217;s standard. I want to pave my way and help the team win titles,&#8221; he said recently. On Saturday, that road could add a new chapter to history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/real-madrid\/2025\/12\/19\/6945a7ffe2704e91358b45a5.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 will play his final game in 2025 with a goal that exceeds his overall record.
