Kylian Mbappe is a win away in Real Madrid history after narrowing into a single goal from the record of the highest number of goals in the history of the club by Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the 2025 calendar year, the French striker has already scored 58 goals in the Real Madrid club, only one short of becoming the highest single-year scoring player in the history of the club.
The victory marks a year of defining moments in the life of Mbappe, whose adjustment phase since joining Real Madrid has been replaced by constant domination.
Initial concern regarding his compatibility with Vinicius Junior is no longer relevant since he has taken the middle stage in attack before Vinicius and Jude Bellingham.
Ronaldo has a history of high performance since 2013, when the Portuguese superstar had 59 goals in Real Madrid in all competitions.
The amount is the largest club-level payoff in a calendar year in the history of the city of Madrid and has not been surpassed in over 10 years.
His goal against Talavera has added momentum to Mbappe, as he has scored his two goals,s taking him to 58 club goals in 2025.
The last match of the year that Real Madrid will play is against Sevilla, and this is the only chance to match or even exceed the record.
The magnitude of the moment is enhanced by the fact that Mbappe has always been a fan of Ronaldo, whom he has mentioned as his reference in football.
Mbappe previously mentioned that he has always had Cristiano Ronaldo as his role model, and the former star of Madrid is providing advice and encouragement to the forward in this instance as well.
The Real Madrid club career of Ronaldo was far more than a calendar-year record, as he played at the club with 450 goals in 438 appearances.
The level of extraordinary production established efficiency and consistency standards that remain used to compare it with the present-day performances of the club.
Currently, Mbappe has a scoring rate of one goal in every 93.9 minutes, which is statistically high.
Ronaldo, in his turn, scored an average of a goal per 84 minutes, which demonstrates the extent of the difficulty in his attempt to match his overall club statistics.
In addition to Madrid, the broader meaning of calendar-year scored goals puts the mark of Ronaldo behind the international goal-scoring record of Lionel Messi of 91 goals in 2012.
However, the record set in Madrid would be a hallmark in the initial years of Mbappe in the club.
With Real Madrid ready to end 2025 and their LaLiga season at the Santiago Bernabéu, Kylian Mbappe is left hanging over history. Be it the fall or the stand, the moment indicates how he changed into the decisive attacking power of Madrid and how a burden of expectation now accompanies him.
