Kylian Mbappe matches Real Madrid icon’s Champions League goal tally after scoring vs Inter Milan
Kylian Mbappe has moved level with Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez on the Champions League’s all-time scoring list after finding the net in Madrid’s 2-1 victory over Inter Milan.
The French forward now has 71 goals in the competition, putting him fifth alongside Raul and leaving only four players above him in UEFA Champions League history.
Even more striking is how quickly Mbappe reached the milestone, needing just 99 appearances.
His 71 goals have been spread across three clubs. He scored six goals during his time with AS Monaco, added 42 for PSG and has now registered 23 since joining Real Madrid.

Over the years, Mbappe has also produced some memorable individual displays in the competition.
He has five Champions League hat-tricks to his name, including a remarkable performance for PSG against Club Brugge, when he came off the bench in the second half to score three times and provide an assist in a 5-0 group-stage victory.
His other hat-trick came at Camp Nou in 2021, where Mbappe scored three goals for PSG during a dominant 4-1 victory over Barcelona in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie.
The remaining three hat-tricks came for Real Madrid against the likes of Manchester City, Kairat Almaty and Olympiacos.
Ronaldo and Messi remain a long way ahead
The next targets on the list are considerably further away, as Karim Benzema currently sits fourth with 91 Champions League goals, meaning Mbappe still needs another 20 to catch his former Real Madrid teammate.
Above Benzema, the numbers become even more daunting.
Robert Lewandowski has scored 109 goals in the competition and remains third on the all-time list. Lionel Messi is second with 129, while Cristiano Ronaldo occupies the summit with an extraordinary 141 goals.
Mbappe therefore still has considerable ground to make up if he is to challenge the very top of the rankings.

Manchester United launch final push to sign Real Madrid outcast; club resists permanent exit
Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Endrick as the Brazilian forward’s future at Real Madrid becomes increasingly uncertain, with a potential January loan move emerging as a solution to his lack of regular playing time.
According to Bernabeu Digital, Manchester United are making a final push to convince the 19-year-old to join them.
However, negotiations could prove complicated because the Premier League club is interested in including a purchase option in the deal, while Real Madrid are not currently planning to give up permanent control of the striker.
Endrick’s limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season have opened the door to a temporary departure, with AC Milan and Tottenham also emerging as potential destinations.
Why Manchester United want Endrick?
Manchester United are looking for greater attacking productivity and believe Endrick could provide a different dimension to their forward line.
The Premier League club has also been linked with the Brazilian in the past, as they assess options to improve their goalscoring output after a poor start to the season.
Notably, his situation at Real Madrid makes a move more plausible, as Endrick has struggled to secure consistent minutes, and the club is considering a loan that would give him the chance to play regularly.
However, United’s preferred terms could become the biggest obstacle.
The English side reportedly wants the option to buy Endrick at the end of the loan, potentially giving them a route to a permanent transfer if he impresses.
Real Madrid reject permanent Endrick exit
Real Madrid’s preference is understood to be a straightforward loan without a purchase option.
The club want Endrick to gain experience elsewhere before returning to compete for a place in the squad, rather than risk losing a young forward they have invested in for the future.
His previous loan spell at Lyon provides a possible model for another temporary move, although any agreement would depend on the terms offered and the player’s own preferences.
Manchester United are prepared to make an attractive financial proposal in an effort to secure his arrival, but money alone may not resolve the disagreement if Real Madrid remain unwilling to include a purchase clause.
