Mbappé Chasing CR7's Records

Kylian Mbappé continues to excel at Real Madrid, winning the Golden Shoe for the previous season with 44 goals in 59 matches. The French forward is close to breaking two records held by Cristiano Ronaldo. He has already equaled Ronaldo's record for most goals in a calendar year (59 goals) and is aiming for the record of 11 goals in the Champions League group stage, which he has already matched. Furthermore, Mbappé has the opportunity to surpass Ronaldo's record for most goals in a single Champions League season (17 goals), having already scored 11 and with several matches remaining. His performance suggests he could overtake his childhood idol and cement his place in Real Madrid's history.
