Mbappé just five goals short of beating Ronaldo's 2013 Real Madrid record

Kylian Mbappé is on the verge of breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s long‑standing record for the most goals scored in a calendar year for Real Madrid. The French forward has been in exceptional form, netting 25 of the club’s 44 goals this season, and is now just five goals away from surpassing Ronaldo’s 2013 tally of 59.

Mbappé’s impressive run marks a stark improvement from his slow start at the club last year. This season he has consistently delivered, earning the Golden Boot award for the top scorer in European leagues in October. With five games remaining before the end of the month, his average of 1.25 goals per match suggests a strong chance of overtaking Ronaldo’s record.

Ronaldo’s record has stood the test of time, having been set in 2013. Mbappé’s pursuit of the milestone is a testament to his skill and dedication, and the French international will be eager to make history by surpassing his predecessor. The achievement would be significant not only for Mbappé but also for Real Madrid, highlighting the club’s continued success in attracting and developing top talent.

As the month draws to a close, all eyes will be on Mbappé as he attempts to write his name into the record books. With his current form and the number of games left, it is likely that the record will be broken. If successful, Mbappé will cement his place among the world’s top players and further solidify his role as a key figure for Real Madrid.

The impending record attempt has sparked excitement among football fans, many of whom are eager to see if Mbappé can achieve the feat. As the games unfold, tension will build, and the outcome will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike. Ultimately, the pursuit reflects the high standards and competitiveness that define the sport, and Mbappé’s attempt promises a thrilling conclusion to the month.
