Mbappe Smashes Ronaldo’s UCL Record

Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions League record after scoring a hat-trick for Real Madrid against Kairat in mid-week.

The France captain opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 25th minute from the spot after team-mate Franco Mastantuono was fouled in the box.
The 26-year-old then doubled his tally in the second half and completed his hat-trick in the 73rd minute of the encounter.

Mbappe’s three goals against Kairat mean the former Paris Saint-Germain star has now joined an exclusive group of six players who have scored 60 goals or more in Champions League history.

However, the 26-year-old reached the 60-goal mark in fewer games than some players who have more goals in the competition, including Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mbappe needed only 89 games to reach the 60-goal milestone, while it took Ronaldo 98 games to reach the same number.

The former Monaco attacker, however, is only behind the likes of Messi and Robert Lewandowski, who achieved the 60-goal mark in 80 and 85 games, respectively.
