French forward Kylian Mbappe is nearing Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for most goals in a calendar year for Real Madrid, having scored 55 goals in 2025, just four shy of Ronaldo’s 2013 mark of 59.
Coach Xabi Alonso praised Mbappe’s ambition and influence, drawing comparisons to Ronaldo. Mbappe will have four upcoming matches, including Celta Vigo and Manchester City, to potentially achieve this significant milestone.
