How Kylian Mbappe Compares to Cristiano Ronaldo After Reaching 100 Real Madrid Goals

Voting may be long closed, but Kylian Mbappé could hardly have wished for more of a statement performance on Ballon d’Or eve with the eyes of the world on him.

The French superstar’s match-winning double against Barcelona on Sunday solidified his credentials as the world’s best striker, after a start to 2026–27 that has seen him score 14 times in 13 appearances.

At Camp Nou, Mbappé took center stage as Madrid ended Barça’s nine-match La Liga winning streak, scoring his first in extremely fortuitous circumstances as Gerard Martín’s attempted clearance cannoned back off him and past Joan García.

His second late on was far more aesthetically pleasing as Madrid’s No. 10 capped a glorious team counter to stroke home after fine footwork from Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham.

Mbappé’s brace takes him to exactly 100 goals for Real Madrid—a milestone he commemorated by leaving Camp Nou with a shirt printed with the number. It’s a remarkable feat in little over two years’ work.

“I’m very happy,” Mbappé said of his latest accolade. “Everyone knows I like scoring goals and helping the team that way. But I think today that’s just a minor detail, because the most important thing is the team’s victory and our success as a group.”

Reaching the total in just 116 outings across all competitions, Mbappé becomes the second-fastest player in the modern era to make a century for Los Blancos, behind only (you guessed it) Cristiano Ronaldo.
