Mbappe vs Ronaldo: Stunning Stats Reveal How the French Star Measures Up After 60 Real Madrid Appearances

Kylian Mbappé may not sport the iconic number seven jersey, but he continues to pursue the legendary status that Cristiano Ronaldo established at Real Madrid.

The French striker finalized his much-awaited transfer to the Spanish capital before the 2024–25 season began. Mbappé proceeded to deliver an outstanding inaugural season that culminated with both the Pichichi Trophy and the European Golden Boot.

Indeed, Mbappé assembled a superior first season at Real Madrid compared to Ronaldo, whose initial year wearing the white jersey was hampered by injuries. The French international shattered numerous records, overtaking his boyhood idol in the club's record books.

Mbappé launched the 2025–26 season similarly to his previous campaign, netting the decisive goal for Los Blancos in their La Liga season opener. This match marked the striker's 60th appearance in the white jersey, a benchmark that required Ronaldo a season and a half to achieve.

Let's examine how Mbappé's initial 60 matches at the world's most prestigious club compare to Ronaldo's performance.

Mbappe vs. Ronaldo: Overall Statistics Through 60 Real Madrid Games

Across 60 matches at Real Madrid, Ronaldo maintains a commanding advantage over Mbappé. The five-time Ballon d'Or recipient netted 58 goals in all competitions, maintaining nearly a goal per game average.

Even more impressive are Ronaldo's assists; the Portuguese legend created 19 goals for teammates, elevating his combined goal involvement to an remarkable 77 across 60 matches.

Mbappé, conversely, scored 45 times in 60 appearances across all competitions. Forty-four of these goals occurred during his debut season, establishing it as the finest in the club's illustrious history.

The 26-year-old has registered just five assists, however, resulting in 50 total goal involvements in 60 matches. While these figures are impressive, they fall short of Ronaldo's exceptional output.

Mbappe vs. Ronaldo: La Liga Breakdown

Both Ronaldo and Mbappé topped the team's scoring charts in La Liga, separated by 15 years. These two superstars each maintained nearly a goal per La Liga appearance ratio.

The Portuguese icon scored 43 goals across 45 league matches, while Mbappé found the net 32 times in 35 La Liga fixtures. Should the Frenchman maintain his scoring rate, he could potentially equal Ronaldo's tally through 45 La Liga appearances.

The distinction, however, lies once more in the assist department. Mbappé serves as the primary attraction for Real Madrid. The former Paris Saint-Germain sensation focuses on scoring rather than creating opportunities for teammates.

Ronaldo, in contrast, provided 15 assists, achieving 58 total goal contributions in La Liga. It's worth noting he participated in 10 additional La Liga matches compared to Mbappé through their respective 60-game periods at Real Madrid.

Mbappe vs. Ronaldo: Champions League Breakdown

Ronaldo continues to dominate in Champions League scoring, which comes as no shock considering the striker's reputation as the competition's greatest performer in history.

The former Manchester United star accumulated 14 goal contributions across 12 matches. Whenever Real Madrid required a crucial goal against European opponents, Ronaldo consistently delivered.

Mbappé faces a considerable journey before matching Ronaldo's Champions League achievements. The France skipper may have netted seven goals in 14 appearances last season, but three occurred in the second leg of the knockout phase playoffs versus Manchester City.

Beyond that, Mbappé failed to score during the knockout rounds, both in the round of 16 against Atlético Madrid and subsequently in the quarterfinals versus Arsenal.
