Kylian Mbappe consistently demonstrates his value through his lethal scoring ability. The French forward is at the top of the goal-scoring charts for clubs across the five leading European competitions.
The long-running transfer saga of Kylian Mbappé finally concluded last summer when he chose to leave Paris Saint-Germain and join Real Madrid on a free transfer. This was considered a blockbuster deal in European football, bringing one of the brightest stars in the world to Los Blancos. However, Mbappé’s first season at the Bernabéu was disappointing. Real Madrid ended the season empty-handed, being surpassed by Barcelona in both La Liga and the Copa del Rey, and eliminated by Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals. Amid this context, Mbappé became the focus of criticism, with many believing he had yet to live up to expectations as a team leader.
Nevertheless, looking at the statistics, it is undeniable that the French striker has maintained an excellent scoring record. In 61 appearances for Real, he has netted 47 goals — a rate any forward would envy. In the new season, Mbappé continued to showcase his quality with a brace in the recent 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo. This achievement has propelled him to the top of the list of players with the most goals for clubs in the five leading European leagues since last season began.
Following Mbappé are Harry Kane of Bayern Munich with 45 goals, Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona with 42, and Serhou Guirassy from Dortmund with 40. Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, and Ousmane Dembélé also appear among the leaders, but all remain behind Mbappé.
These figures show that although Real Madrid has not achieved collective success, Mbappé has proven himself as one of the world’s finest forwards. If Los Blancos regain their former strength this season, his unstoppable form could turn past criticism into well-deserved praise.
