Dhaka, Dec. 24 -- Kylian Mbappe scored his 59th goal for Real Madrid in 2025, matching Cristiano Ronaldo's club record for most goals in a single year. The milestone came in the 86th minute via a penalty in a 2-0 victory over 10-man Sevilla in Madrid's final match of the year.

The France striker, celebrating his 27th birthday, marked the achievement with a subdued version of Ronaldo's iconic celebration, before blowing a kiss to the cameras. Since joining Real Madrid in summer 2024, Mbappe has scored 29 goals this season, including 18 in La Liga. "It's incredible, in my first full year to do what Cristiano did. He's my idol and the best player in Real Madrid's history," Mbappe said.
