How many Champions League goals has Kylian Mbappé scored?
Kylian Mbappé has scored 60 goals in 89 UEFA Champions League appearances, taking the competition by storm ever since bursting onto the scene with Monaco in the 2016/17 campaign. Still just 26, the France forward is already up to sixth on the list of all-time Champions League scorers (excluding qualifying).

Paris-born Mbappé served notice of his talent with six goals for Monaco in his first Champions League season and has scored at least four times in every campaign since. His tenth Champions League strike, in a 3-1 loss at Bayern München in December 2017, made him the youngest player to reach that double-figure mark at the age of 18 years 350 days.
His contemporary Erling Haaland has been jostling for records with Mbappé ever since. The pair now have some of the numbers achieved by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema in their sights.

When has Kylian Mbappé scored his Champions League goals?
If Mbappé has a magic number, it may be three. He has scored in the third minute of Champions League games on three occasions: against Anderlecht, Bayern and Dortmund.

How many Champions League hat-tricks has Kylian Mbappé scored?
Mbappé has bagged five Champions League hat-tricks, the first two away from home, in Paris's 5-0 win at Club Brugge in October 2019 and the 4-1 success at Barcelona in the 2020/21 round of 16. He converted a penalty in the return leg of that latter tie to surpass Messi as the youngest player to hit 25 goals in the Champions League, aged 22 years 80 days, though Haaland subsequently broke that record.
Mbappé's third Champions League hat-trick was his first for Real Madrid and his first at home, the Frenchman scoring all his team's goals in a 3-1 defeat of Manchester City in the knockout phase play-off second leg in February 2025 to make it four goals in the tie.
His fourth hat-trick followed at the start of 2025/26, in Madrid's 5-0 win at Kairat Almaty on Matchday 2. Mbappé went one better on Matchday 5, hitting all four goals in a 4-3 success at Olympiacos, his hat-trick timed at six minutes 42 seconds – the second fastest in Champions League history.
Kylian Mbappé's Champions League goal comparison: Erling Haaland, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo
Following his first 50 Champions League outings, Mbappé had scored 29 goals – two shy of the tallies of Messi and Lewandowski at that same stage. Since then, he has gone through the gears and got to 40 goals quicker than either of the prolific duo, though Haaland – again – would later eclipse that mark.
