This achievement puts Mbappe alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Robert Lewandowski among the rare strikers in the 21st century to reach that number in a calendar year. At the same time, the striker born in 1998 also becomes the first French player since Just Fontaine (in 1958) to achieve the same feat.

Prior to the 1-1 draw with Girona on December 1st, Mbappe had already received the Man of the Match (MOTM) award for the 10th time, the best record in the top 5 European leagues.

Looking ahead to the entire year of 2025, Mbappe is experiencing the peak of his career. After a spectacular first half with crucial goals in the Champions League, he quickly established himself as a key player in coach Xabi Alonso's system for the 2025/26 season.

Not only does Mbappe score regularly, but he also clearly demonstrates his leadership role, guiding the young attacking line, creating breakthroughs in difficult moments, and maintaining incredible performance for both his club and the French national team.

By the end of November, 60 goals across all competitions fully reflected Mbappe's all-around abilities: speed, technique, composure in front of goal, and mental strength in big matches.

Real Madrid still have much to improve, from their patched-up defense to their lack of control under coach Alonso. But when a star like Mbappe reaches explosive form, the team's flaws are somewhat masked by the brilliant light he brings.

Mbappe's speed: On the morning of September 6th, Aurelien Tchouameni made a long pass to Kylian Mbappe, who sprinted forward to score, helping France win 2-0 against Ukraine in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the European region.
