He would be quite content with that. Kylian Mbappé ended his 2025-2026 Champions League campaign with a 15th goal in the quarter-final second leg against Bayern (4-3 defeat in Munich, after a 1-2 defeat at the Bernabéu). The star number 10 of Real Madrid is currently the top scorer in the competition, three points ahead of Harry Kane, who faces PSG in the semi-finals with Bayern.
One thing is certain, Mbappé will not improve his statistics in the last four of the C1 this year. At 27, the Bondy prodigy has not yet lifted the big-eared cup and has not played much in the LDC semi-finals in his career either. Last year, for his first season with the Merengues, he was unable to save his team in the quarter-finals against Arsenal (3-0 and 1-2 defeats).
Mbappé scores with Monaco and… that’s it!
With PSG, the “Kyks” reached the semi-finals of the competition three times, but did not score against Leipzig in the “Final 8” of 2020 (3-0 victory) and against Manchester City the following year (1-2 and 2-0 defeats), nor in the two matches against Borussia Dortmund in 2024 (1-0 and 0-1 defeats). His only goal at this stage of the competition dates back to AS Monaco’s semi-return against Juventus in May 2017 (2-1 defeat for elimination).
It is the case to say it, Kylian Mbappé is still very far from the legends of football in terms of goals scored in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Top scorer in the history of C1, Cristiano Ronaldo has 13 goals in the half! Karim Benzema (8) and Robert Lewandowski (7) are ahead of Lionel Messi (6). Alessandro Del Piero and Jari Litmanen scored five times and Zinédine Zidane four times as did Andriy Shevchenko, Arjen Robben, Thomas Müller and Riyad Mahrez.
