Mbappé Approaching Ronaldo’s Landmark

Recent Performance and Remaining Obstacles
The French forward has particularly strengthened his pursuit following a brace against Athletic Bilbao, which took his tally to 56 goals in 55 appearances in 2025. While matching or surpassing the record will demand continued excellence, Mbappé’s current rate suggests the historic milestone is realistic if he maintains his form throughout the remaining fixtures.
Real Madrid’s Remaining Fixtures in 2025
Five matches still await Real Madrid before the end of the year. These include domestic and European clashes, as well as a Copa del Rey fixture yet to be defined, providing Mbappé further opportunities to enhance his remarkable goal count. The schedule is as follows:
| Opponent | Venue | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| Celta | Bernabeu | La Liga |
| Manchester City | Bernabeu | UEFA Champions League |
| Alavés | Away | La Liga |
| Sevilla | Bernabeu | La Liga |
| TBD (Copa del Rey, draw on 9 December) | TBD | Copa del Rey |
Potential for History
The final Copa del Rey fixture, following the draw set for 9 December, will present one last chance for Mbappé to either equal or break Ronaldo’s record. With his scoring efficiency and upcoming opportunities, data analysts and fans alike await to see if Mbappé can etch his name in Real Madrid’s record books before the end of the calendar year.
