Kylian Mbappe reached a historic milestone by scoring his 100th goal for Real Madrid during a match-winning performance against Barcelona.
Jose Mourinho’s team put in an impressive performance to end Barcelona’s unbeaten run in LaLaiga. Mbappe opened the scoring via a deflected thigh effort before turning in Eduardo Camavinga‘s late assist.
The Frenchman has now reached 100 goals for Los Blancos in just his 116th appearance for the club.
His century of goals includes 67 in La Liga, 25 in the Champions League, 4 in the Copa del Rey, 2 in the Club World Cup, 1 in the UEFA Super Cup, and 1 in the Spanish Super Cup.
Despite reaching three figures in record time, Mbappe remained completely focused on collective achievement post-match. “I’m very happy, everyone knows I like to score goals and help the team with that,” Mbappe stated.
”But I think today this is just a detail, because the most important thing is the team’s victory and how we win as a group.”
”This victory will give the group a lot of confidence and there will be many more goals, so it’s not that important,” he added.

Mbappe who is in the running for the 2025/26 Ballon d’Or also called for absolute team unity in Madrid’s title pursuit.
The former PSG star urged his team-mates to maintain their high standards. “We knew we had to play like men, but also as a team,” Mbappe emphasized.
”If we want to achieve things this year, we have to do them as a group… when you see the players we have here, anyone who says there isn’t quality is a liar.”
”In the end, winning and still being in the title race is very important for us,” he noted.
Mbappe has already scored 14 goals across all competitions this season. He will be hoping to increase that tally when Madrid play Racing Santander next Sunday.
