Mbappe Scores in 100th Champions League Match for Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe celebrated his 100th Champions League appearance by scoring Real Madrid's opening goal in a thrilling 4-3 comeback victory against AS Roma. The goal, which came in the 25th minute, equalized the match after Roma had taken an early lead.
This achievement brought Mbappe's total Champions League goals to 72, positioning him fifth among the competition's all-time top scorers. The milestone adds to an extraordinary year for the 27-year-old forward, who has already won La Liga, the FIFA World Cup Golden Boot, and the Champions League Golden Boot, making him the first player in history to achieve all three in a single year.
Despite not winning a major team trophy last season, Mbappe is considered a leading contender for the 2026 Ballon d'Or, currently ranked third among potential winners with a 3.8% probability, behind Harry Kane and Lamine Yamal.
