Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé is closing in on a major milestone in Champions League history, as he aims to surpass the iconic Alfredo Di Stéfano in the all-time goal rankings.
Both players are currently tied at 49 goals each in the competition, but Mbappé missed the chance to move ahead during Real Madrid’s recent clash against Borussia Dortmund, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his next opportunity.
Sharing 11th place with Di Stéfano and Zlatan Ibrahimović, Mbappé now has several legendary names in his sights. Just one goal separates him from Filippo Inzaghi (50 goals), while Thierry Henry (51), Thomas Müller (54), and the duo of Andriy Shevchenko and Ruud van Nistelrooy (both with 59 goals) are not far ahead.
At just 25 years old, Mbappé’s rapid rise in the Champions League goal charts has sparked excitement among fans and pundits, as many believe he is destined to break into the top ranks. With Cristiano Ronaldo still holding the record at 141 goals, Mbappé has a long journey ahead, but his potential to one day challenge this remarkable figure is undeniable.
