By the Numbers: Mbappé Surpasses “The Phenomenon” Ronaldo

Kylian Mbappé has achieved an exceptional milestone in his career, surpassing even the legendary Brazilian Ronaldo Nazário.

The French international scored two goals, leading Real Madrid to a 2-0 victory over Villarreal in La Liga on Saturday.

The 26-year-old Mbappé has now scored a total of 416 goals in 519 appearances across various clubs (Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid) and the French national team.

Thus, Mbappé has surpassed the total number of goals scored by Ronaldo Nazário in his legendary career. The Brazilian netted 414 goals in 616 matches across all competitions.

These figures further cement Kylian Mbappé’s legendary status, yet he still falls some way off the legendary status of Ronaldo, considered by many to be the greatest number 9 in football history.

Mbappe has achieved many major titles in his career, most notably the 2018 World Cup with France, but he still aspires to achieve his first major title with Real Madrid, and all his previous attempts to win the Champions League have failed.
