Kylian Mbappé reaches 100 Real Madrid goals with brace in latest El Clásico

Kylian Mbappé scored twice against Barcelona in last Sunday’s Clásico to help Real Madrid to a 2-1 victory and register his 100th goal for the club.

Ever since joining Real Madrid, Mbappé has been setting and breaking club records; his two goals in the match took him to 100 strikes in 116 appearances. He now sits as the 23rd-highest scorer in Los Blancos’ history and is the fourth-fastest player to reach 100 goals for Spain’s most successful team.

Only four players have reached 100 goals for Real Madrid in fewer matches than Mbappé: Ferenc Puskás (101 games), Cristiano Ronaldo (105 games), and a tie between Pahiño and Alfredo Di Stéfano (114 games). Mbappé’s total came after the Clásico brace that completed his century in competitive appearances for the club.

Ferenc Puskás occupies the top spot on the speed list, having scored 100 goals in 101 Real Madrid matches. The article notes Puskás joined the team in 1958 and was already in his thirties when he arrived, and that he “immediately became one of the most productive players of his period.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is second on the list, having reached the century in 105 games; the piece states Ronaldo “broke records and raised the bar every season he played for the team” and became the club’s all-time top scorer while also smashing other records. The article describes it as somewhat surprising that Ronaldo is only second by speed given his prolific scoring rate.

Pahiño and Alfredo Di Stéfano are listed as joint third-fastest, each taking 114 games to reach 100 goals. The report adds that Pahiño joined Real Madrid in 1948 and won his second Pichichi Trophy at the end of the 1951-52 season, while Di Stéfano “enjoyed successful years at the club and led them to much silverware.”

Mbappé’s century, delivered in the 2-1 Clásico win over Barcelona, places him as the 23rd-highest scorer in Real Madrid history and the fourth-fastest player to reach 100 goals for the club.
