Mbappé Edges Closer to Ronaldo’s Historic Real Madrid Goal Record, Says Alonso
Real Madrid’s superstar Kylian Mbappé is rapidly closing in on one of the club’s most iconic milestones — Cristiano Ronaldo’s single-year goal record — a feat that many within the club now believe is within reach. According to remarks attributed to manager Xabi Alonso, the French forward “is only a few goals away” from matching the benchmark set during Ronaldo’s explosive spell at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Alonso, speaking after Madrid’s latest league outing, praised Mbappé’s consistency, determination, and tactical intelligence, noting that the 25-year-old has adapted to life in Spain far quicker than anticipated. According to club insiders, Madrid’s coaching staff has been particularly impressed by Mbappé’s ability to thrive under pressure, with many pointing out that his scoring efficiency mirrors Ronaldo’s early years with the club.
Ronaldo’s record, achieved during one of his most prolific calendar years at Real Madrid, has long been considered untouchable. But according to training ground reports, Mbappé has maintained extraordinary form since joining the club, regularly producing match-winning performances and delivering goals in nearly every competition. The forward’s tally places him among Europe’s most lethal attackers this season, sparking comparisons between the two generations of Madrid goal machines.
Alonso reportedly stated that Mbappé’s ambition is one of the key factors driving his rapid rise. According to those present during his post-match briefing, the manager highlighted Mbappé’s hunger to write his own history at Madrid rather than live in Ronaldo’s shadow. Nevertheless, the parallels between the two stars continue to gain attention, especially as Mbappé inches closer to the Portuguese icon’s revered mark.
Fans across Europe are closely watching the race, with many already debating whether Mbappé could surpass not just Ronaldo’s single-year milestone but potentially other long-standing club records. Reported by Spanish media, Madrid supporters have embraced Mbappé as the successor to the era-defining players who came before him.
As the season progresses, excitement continues to build. Should Mbappé maintain his current trajectory, breaking Ronaldo’s record may only be the beginning of a new chapter in Real Madrid’s storied attacking legacy.
