Kylian Mbappe is causing terror throughout Europe by turning into Real Madrid’s “away beast,” continuously shattering goal-scoring boundaries and approaching Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic record.
After the first ten matches of the 2025/26 season, Mbappe has scored 14 goals, including 9 on the road, making up 64% of his total goals. These figures turn the French striker into a nightmare for every defense, even outperforming Haaland and Harry Kane at the same stage.
Notably, the Bernabeu isn’t where Mbappe shines the most; away stadiums are his favorite stage. There, he not only scores regularly but often opens the scoring—specifically, in 6 out of 10 matches he played, Real took the lead thanks to Mbappe’s first goal.
The only match he failed to score this season was the 2-0 victory over Espanyol at the Bernabeu, which further confirms his special ability to shine away from home. Despite pressure from opposing fans, Mbappe performs more explosively, coolly, and efficiently than ever.
Since joining Real Madrid after seven years of negotiations, Mbappe faced a tough adaptation period. He admitted to “hitting rock bottom” during last season’s away game at San Mames, but now everything has changed. Under Xabi Alonso, he has become the focal point of the attack, perfectly combining with Vinicius and Arda Guler. This trio has been involved in 23 of Real Madrid’s 27 goals, accounting for 85%, and directly assisted 10 of the team’s 19 setups.
The chemistry between Mbappe, Vinicius, and Guler creates a devastating offensive force: all four of Guler’s passes reached Mbappe, while Vinicius has assisted the French senior player twice. Conversely, Mbappe has returned the favor with two assists for his teammates. They are becoming Real’s new goal-scoring machine, helping the royal club maintain a top position in La Liga and prepare to conquer the Champions League.
Mbappe is in phenomenal form individually. He scores once every 62 minutes on average, needing only 1.7 shots per goal, far better than last season’s rate (107 minutes per goal, 2.9 shots per goal). If he keeps this pace, the French star could finish the season with 84 goals—a number that would threaten Ronaldo’s 61-goal record from the 2014/15 season.
The 1-0 win over Getafe early on October 20, with the lone goal at the 80th minute, is the clearest proof of his “killer instinct.” Although no longer a newcomer at Bernabeu, Mbappe still shows boundless ambition and a conquering spirit.
With speed, composure, and a rare scoring instinct, Mbappe is not only Real Madrid’s leader but also a symbol of the new generation of football stars. Wherever Mbappe is, goals follow—and with the way he dominates away matches, it’s clear why all of Europe fears the “monster” named Kylian Mbappe.
