Kylian Mbappé, the French forward, has once again confirmed his status as a star of the football world, shining in the Champions League match where he scored four goals against Olympiacos. This match marked the first time he achieved a poker in this tournament.
He scored his first three goals in a record 6 minutes and 42 seconds, allowing him to take second place among the fastest hat-tricks in Champions League history. Only Mohamed Salah managed to do it faster, scoring his three goals in 6 minutes and 12 seconds in a match against Rangers in the 2022/23 season. Additionally, his achievements surpassed those of Bafetimbi Gomis and Mike Newell.
As of now, in the 2025/26 season, Mbappé has scored 18 goals in 17 matches for Real Madrid, which opens up the possibility for him to finish the season with more goals than matches played for the first time in his career. This achievement has only been accomplished by legends such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
With the French national team, he is also on track for a historic record. With 55 goals to his name, he is just two goals behind Olivier Giroud, who holds the top spot among the national team's all-time scorers with 57 goals. In early November, Mbappé became the second player in history to reach 400 career goals faster than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Thus, Mbappé's form confirms his status as one of the best footballers in the world, and he continues to strive for new achievements both at the club level and in international football.
