The Spanish club hosted Ligue 1 side Monaco at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u.<\/p>\n<p>The visiting club lost to the Merengues by 6 goals to 1, but the team&#8217;s top scorer Kylian Mbappe managed to score two goals, equaling Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s all-time record for Champions League group stages.<\/p>\n<p>Mbappe scored 11 goals in six Champions League group stage games, reaching the goal achieved by the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2015-16 Champions League. After exactly 10 seasons, the Russian World Cup winner rivaled his childhood idol.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Vinicius Junior, like Mbappe, is aiming for Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s record.<\/h2>\n<p>The Brazilian plays a very important role in the club&#8217;s front line, and in the 6-1 win over Monaco, he was able to surpass his teammate Mbappe to become the best assist provider in the Champions League, considering his debut in the 2018\/19 season up until now.<\/p>\n<p>His second record was to become Real Madrid&#8217;s second-best assist provider in history, after CR7, surpassing Karim Benzema in the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>Vinicius has provided 28 assists for Real Madrid in the Champions League, trailing legendary French player Karim Benzema with 27. This leaves the Brazilian just three points shy of surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s 31-assist tally for the Portuguese, but just three points ahead of the young striker who could reach and surpass one of football&#8217;s greatest idols this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/champions-league\/2026\/01\/21\/6970afad46163ff9748b45a3.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYoung striker and 2018 World Cup winner Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 has just equaled the record held by one of Real Madrid&#8217;s greatest players, Cristiano Ronaldo.
