Every Kylian Mbappé Champions League Goal, and He's Still Only Sixth

The moment. Mbappé reached 70 Champions League goals this year at 27 years and 116 days old, faster than Messi or Ronaldo had managed at the same age, moving him past Thomas Müller, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the all-time list. He also finished this season as outright Champions League top scorer for the first time, with 15 goals in 11 games, including four in six minutes 42 seconds against Olympiacos, the second-fastest hat-trick in the competition's history.

The take. What this reel makes obvious is how early Mbappé started doing this. Six goals for Monaco as a teenager before PSG had even signed him. A hat-trick away at Barcelona at 22. This isn't a player who found his scoring form at a big club, he brought it with him.

The counter-take. Sixth all-time still means fifth-place Raúl is ahead of him with 71, and the gap to the top of the list is enormous, Ronaldo's 140 goals took him 183 appearances across three clubs. Mbappé would need to average 10 Champions League goals a season for the next eight years just to catch him. The highlight reel is real. So is the distance still in front of him.

Closing line. He's the youngest player ever to reach 70 in this competition. Whether he ever catches Ronaldo is a different question, but at this rate, it's the right one to be asking.
