Mbappé Equals Ronaldo’s Real Madrid Single-Year Mark With 59th Goal in Win Over Sevilla

Scored on his 27th birthday, the 86th-minute penalty sent Real Madrid into the winter break one point behind Barcelona.

Overview

  • Mbappé converted after Juanlu Sánchez fouled Rodrygo, with two later spot-kick awards overturned on VAR in the closing minutes.
  • Jude Bellingham opened the scoring with a first-half header as Sevilla finished with 10 men after Marcão’s second yellow, and Thibaut Courtois produced key saves.
  • The forward celebrated with Ronaldo’s “Siu” and called him his idol in post-match remarks, while Ronaldo acknowledged the milestone on Instagram.
  • The strike was Mbappé’s 59th for Real Madrid in 2025; he now has 73 goals in 83 club appearances since 2024 and 29 in 24 games this season, leading LaLiga with 18.
  • With this the final fixture of 2025, he cannot surpass the total until 2026, when Madrid resume with league play and domestic cup commitments.
