On Saturday, during the 17th round match of La Liga, Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe reached a historic level previously indicated by Cristiano Ronaldo. The Frenchman scored his 59th goal for the Madrid club in 2025, thus equaling the record set by the Portuguese striker in 2013.
The match against Sevilla, held at the Bernabeu stadium, ended in a 2-0 victory for Real Madrid. Mbappe converted a penalty in the 86th minute of the match, making a memorable contribution to the overall team victory. This achievement marked the peak of the Frenchman's scoring prowess for the calendar year.
