Kylian MbappĂ© enjoyed a memorable evening on Saturday against Sevilla, marking a significant milestone in his career with Real Madrid. The French forward converted a penalty to score his 59th goal of the year 2025, equaling Cristiano Ronaldo‘s record for the most goals in a calendar year while wearing the iconic white jersey. In a nostalgic nod to his idol, MbappĂ© celebrated his goal with a signature move that resonated with the Santiago BernabĂ©u faithful, reminiscent of Ronaldo’s time at the club.
After the match, Mbappé reflected on the significance of this achievement. “It’s an honor to match Cristiano, my idol and the greatest player in Real Madrid history,” he stated during an interview with Real Madrid TV. “He has always been kind to me and offered invaluable advice as I adapted to life at this club. I’m incredibly happy to share this moment.”
Shortly after MbappĂ©’s post celebrating his achievement went live on social media, Cristiano Ronaldo responded with a brief yet meaningful comment featuring two emojis, showcasing his support and acknowledgment of the young striker’s accomplishment. This interaction highlights the bond between two of football’s most prolific forwards.
Mbappé also elaborated on the meaning behind his celebration: “It was for him. Normally, I have my own way of celebrating, but today I wanted to pay tribute to him. He has been my idol since childhood, and now he’s become a friend. I send him my regards.”
With the record now matched, Mbappé is ready to focus on collective goals as the 2026 season approaches, particularly aiming for success in the UEFA Champions League. He is determined to carve out his own legacy at Real Madrid, much like Ronaldo did during his illustrious career.
As Real Madrid gears up for the challenges ahead, fans are left wondering: Can Mbappé continue this remarkable form and lead the club to glory?
