Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has come very close to matching the historic achievement of legendary Cristiano Ronaldo in matches for the Royal Club.
RBC-Ukraine shares what the Frenchman needs to do to set a historic record.

Thanks to a brace in the La Liga match against Athletic (3:0), the Frenchman brought his 2025 goal tally to 55.
This is the fourth-highest total in Real Madrid history. Only Ronaldo has recorded more, holding the record of 59 goals set in 2013.
Most goals for Real in a calendar year:

Chance for a historic record
The Frenchman still has a chance to catch the legendary Portuguese before the end of the year. He needs to score four times in the four remaining Real matches in 2025.
Real’s matches in 2025:
-
7 December, Celta (La Liga)
-
10 December, Manchester City (Champions League)
