Is surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo guaranteed? Mbappé has scored 55 goals for Real Madrid in 2025 with 5 matches remaining, just 4 goals shy of Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is a superstar striker, and Mbappé is also a top-class forward today. Mbappé is poised to surpass Ronaldo’s record and become Real Madrid’s highest scorer in a single calendar year.

La Liga featured two matches this week, and in the midweek 19th round, Real Madrid secured a 3-0 away victory over Athletic Bilbao, ending their three-game unbeaten streak of draws. Starting the match, Mbappé was in excellent form, contributing all three goals with two shots and one assist, including a solo run with a stunning long-range goal and a headed assist.

According to data from foreign media Score90, Mbappé has already scored 55 goals for Real Madrid in 2025, ranking fourth on the club’s all-time calendar-year scoring list. He is just 4 goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who holds the top spot, and Mbappé still has 5 matches left this year. With his recent outstanding form—4 goals in 5 games—Mbappé looks set to overtake Ronaldo as Real Madrid’s leading scorer in a calendar year.

Real Madrid still has 4 plus 1 matches remaining in 2025: La Liga home games against Celta and Sevilla, a Champions League home match versus Manchester City, an away La Liga match at Alavés, and the Copa del Rey draw on December 9th, with the match scheduled a week later. This means Real Madrid has 5 matches left to play this year.
