There is no stopping Kylian Mbappé from climbing the ranks of the greatest goalscorers in Champions League history.
Mbappé gave Real Madrid the 3–0 lead against RB Salzburg just three minutes into the second half. The France international pounced on a mistake from goalkeeper Janis Blaswich and scored the easiest goal of his Real Madrid career, which happened to put him in the Champions League history books.
At age 26, the Frenchman has now scored 51 Champions League goals, surpassing Thierry Henry on the all-time UCL scoring charts. The Arsenal legend found the back of the net 50 times in the Champions League (excluding qualifying goals) over his illustrious career for Monaco, the Gunners and Barcelona.
Mbappé, meanwhile, kicked off his Champions League career at Monaco, where he found the back of the net six times before joining Paris Saint-Germain and scoring a staggering 42 goals in Europe's top competition. With the Frenchman adding three goals for Real Madrid to his overall UCL tally, he is now the eighth top goalscorer in Champions League history.
Check out the history-making goal below.
The goal is Mbappé's 19th in a white shirt across all competitions. The 26-year-old leads Real Madrid in goalscoring this season and is currently playing his best soccer since joining the defending Spanish and European champions.
