First at Real Madrid: French superstar makes history after scoring at FIFA Club World Cup | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappe has proven himself to be quite an asset for Real Madrid ever since joining the club on a free transfer last summer.

The Frenchman won the Pichichi trophy ahead of Robert Lewandowski in his first season in La Liga while also bagging the European Golden Boot award.

But Mbappe’s impact at Real Madrid has not only been restricted to just La Liga. He has made an impact in every competition he has played in.

The former PSG superstar ended the 2024/25 campaign with as many as 43 goals in all competitions, ending as the club’s most productive player.

With his goal against Borussia Dortmund in the FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinal, Mbappe has become the first player in Real Madrid’s storied history to score in seven different competitions in a single season.

Indeed, the Frenchman has netted in La Liga, UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, Copa Del Rey, Intercontinental Cup and now, the FIFA Club World Cup.

No player in Real Madrid’s long and decorated history, not Cristiano Ronaldo, not Alfredo Di Stefano, has achieved this feat before.

This speaks volume about the impact Mbappe has had at Real Madrid since joining the club.

Thanks to his stellar performance against Dortmund, Mbappe also made it to FIFA Club World Cup’s Team of the Week, along with his teammate Arda Guler.

One would now expect the Frenchman to help Los Blancos secure the FIFA Club World Cup title this summer, having already returned to full fitness.

Mbappe, in fact, may even start in Real Madrid’s semifinal clash, where he will take on his former club, Paris Saint-Germain.
