Kylian Mbappe reacts to surpassing Ronaldo's goal milestone at Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe responded by beating Ronaldo's goalscoring record, which he set on his debut for Real Madrid in the 2002/03 season.

Ronaldo was the best player in the world when he moved from Inter Milan to Real Madrid. He had just led Brazil to the World Cup title and made the most successful comeback of his career.

R9, or Ronaldo Nazario as he is now commonly known to differentiate him from Cristiano Ronaldo, scored a goal during his time at Cheap Real Madrid Jerseys a total of 30 goals. This total included a famous hat-trick in the Champions League against Manchester United, which earned him a standing ovation at Old Trafford.

Mbappe scored twice in Saturday's 2-1 comeback win over Villarreal in La Liga to take the Frenchman's tally for the season to 31, equalling and breaking Ronaldo's record.

Only three other players in Real Madrid history have scored more goals in their debut season than Mbappe. Cristiano Ronaldo (2009/10) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (2006/07) scored 33 goals each, while Ivan Zamorano scored 37 goals in the 1992/93 season.

Legends such as Alfredo Di Stefano (27 goals) and Ferenc Puskás (25 goals) scored even fewer goals.

"They are legends who have shaped an era, but in the end it's all about numbers. If I score a lot more goals than Ronaldo and Cristiano, it doesn't mean I'm better," said Kylian Mbappe jerseys compared to Real Madrid TV.

The most important thing is to help the team win titles. Scoring goals is important, but it's only worth it if we win La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League."

Mbappe still needs six goals to equal Zamorano's club record and seven more to break it. He has now scored 31 goals in 44 games and still has 24 more games to play for Real Madrid in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and the Club World Cup. Even with the minimum requirement, there is a good chance he will score at least seven more goals with 16 games left in the season.

"I feel good, I'm doing well with the team and personally in 2025. I want to help the team win and hope that I can achieve even more after the international break," he said.
