Mbappe has unlocked the milestone of 75 games in Real Madrid's career. ESPN also compared his performance with that of Real Madrid legends including Cristiano Ronaldo during the same period:
Kylian Mbappe has played 75 games on behalf of Real Madrid and is in his best form since joining. However, compared to some legendary shooters in the club's history, he still has a long way to go.
As the core player under Xabi Alonso, Mbappe's scoring momentum is the key to Real Madrid currently leading La Liga and ranking among the top eight in the Champions League stage.
The 26-year-old French captain leads the La Liga scorer list with 13 goals and ranks second in the Champions League with 5 goals. Although his form has declined slightly recently, he failed to score in two consecutive games against Liverpool and Rayo Vallecano.
Fortunately, in the most recent game, Mbappe regained his sense of scoring goals. He scored two goals in France's 4-0 victory over Ukraine on November 13, and then withdrew from the national team early due to injury the next day. However, he is expected to be available for Real Madrid's away game against Elche on Sunday.
Mbappe's statistics in the first 75 games of Real Madrid's career
In the first 75 games played for Real Madrid, Mbappe's number of goals put him at the forefront of the club's history. He surpassed Karim Benzema, tied with Hugo Sanchez, and followed Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 26-year-old player scored 62 goals in these 75 games, helping the team achieve a record of 52 wins, 6 draws and 17 losses. This includes 14 games in which he scored at least two goals, and four hat-tricks. His total playing time is 6140 minutes.
However, since joining from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024, Mbappe has yet to prove himself in major competitions. Real Madrid have only beaten Barcelona once with him on the pitch (he scored the opening goal in last month's 2-1 victory) and have lost four Clasicos. Against Atletico Madrid, their record was 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses.
Statistics of Benzema's first 75 games in Real Madrid's career
Benzema cannot be compared with Mbappe in terms of goals or playing time, but in his first 75 games with Real Madrid, the team had better results against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. After Benzema joined from Lyon in 2009, he scored 30 goals in the first 75 games, had two hat tricks, scored at least two goals in seven games, and played 4042 minutes.
In his first four Madrid derbies, his team won all of them and was undefeated against Barcelona, achieving a record of 1 win and 1 draw. His overall record during this period was 55 wins, 13 draws and 17 losses. He eventually left as a Ballon d'Or winner and joined the Saudi team Jeddah United.
Ugo Sanchez’s statistics in the first 75 games of Real Madrid’s career
Hugo Sanchez scored 49 goals in Real Madrid’s first 75 games (6,645 minutes of playing time), which was less than Mbappe’s 62 goals, but it was a very impressive number in that era. The Mexican legend is at a disadvantage in the number of hat tricks (three to Mbappe's four) and the number of games in which he has scored at least two goals (11 vs. 13).
Since joining from Atletico Madrid in 1985, his record in the first 75 games was 47 wins, 14 draws and 14 losses. He defeated his old club twice and drew once, remaining unbeaten in the derby. In the national derby, his record is 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss.
Ronaldo's statistics in the first 75 games of Real Madrid's career
Ronaldo has produced quite impressive statistics in the first 75 games of Real Madrid's career. He scored 52 goals, 10 fewer than Mbappe, but played only 5,890 minutes, almost eight full games less than Real Madrid's current No. 10. The Brazilian superstar also completed two hat tricks and scored at least two goals in 10 games.
In terms of team contribution, he achieved a record of 46 wins, 11 draws and 18 losses. At that time, he had no win against Barcelona (1 draw and 3 losses); in the derby against Atletico Madrid, the record was 2 wins and 1 draw.
Cristiano Ronaldo's first 75 games in Real Madrid's career
As the club's top scorer in history (450 goals), it is expected that Ronaldo leads this comparison. He scored 69 goals in the first 75 games, 7 goals more than Mbappe, and played 228 fewer minutes. This is a record that no one in Real Madrid can match.
After Ronaldo joined from Manchester United for a world-record transfer fee of 94 million euros at the time, he completed six hat tricks during this period and scored at least two goals in 20 games. The only blemish on this period was the record against Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, which suffered three defeats, but he helped his team win four Madrid derbies. At the beginning of his time at Real Madrid, the team achieved a record of 59 wins, 10 draws and 6 losses in the first 75 games under his leadership.
