Mbappé Four Shy of Ronaldo’s Real Madrid Calendar‑Year Record as Alonso Lauds His Form

Xabi Alonso calls him “one of the chosen ones,” pointing to a December stretch that could shift long‑standing scoring benchmarks.

Real Madrid's French forward Kylian Mbappe could break Cristiano Ronaldo's record for goals in a calendar year at the club

Overview

  • AFP reports Mbappé has 55 Real Madrid goals in 2025, leaving him four short of Cristiano Ronaldo’s 59 club goals in a calendar year set in 2013.
  • Real Madrid’s remaining December matches against Celta Vigo, Manchester City on December 10, Alavés and Sevilla give Mbappé four games to chase the club mark.
  • The forward has nine goals in his first five Champions League games this season, needing eight to tie Ronaldo’s single‑season record of 17 and nine to break it under the competition’s expanded format.
  • In LaLiga, Mbappé has 16 goals in 15 matches and would require 33 more across the remaining 23 games to equal Ronaldo’s 48‑goal league season, a demanding pace.
  • Tallies differ slightly across outlets—AFP lists 55 Madrid goals for 2025 while Planet Football counts 56—with Planet Football also placing his club‑and‑country total at 62 for the year against Ronaldo’s 69 in 2013.
