Following Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Sevilla in the 17th round of La Liga, the club's official social media channels released a commemorative poster to celebrate a historic achievement by Kylian Mbappé. By converting a crucial penalty during the match, Mbappé reached a total of 59 goals for Real Madrid within the 2025 calendar year.

This remarkable tally sees the French forward equal the long-standing record for the most goals scored by a Real Madrid player in a single calendar year, a benchmark previously set by Cristiano Ronaldo. The club’s official tribute included a caption highlighting the feat: "Mbappé equals Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 59 goals in a calendar year!"

This milestone is particularly significant as it places Mbappé alongside the club's all-time leading scorer in the history books during his debut year in Madrid. Despite recent discussions regarding his performance in big matches, this statistic underscores his immense individual productivity and his central role in the team's offensive output. As the year draws to a close, Mbappé's ability to match such a legendary figure serves as a testament to his impact since arriving at the Santiago Bernabéu.
