Kylian Mbappé has achieved a remarkable milestone in the Champions League, surpassing all but Lionel Messi, prior to sustaining an injury.

Kylan achieved the milestone of his 50th Champions League goal by scoring the opening goal for Real Madrid against Atalanta, prior to his substitution later in the first half.

The Frenchman located the bottom corner within the first ten minutes of the match, marking his twelfth goal for the club since his acquisition during the summer transfer window.

Kylan has yet to secure a Champions League title, although there is a prevailing sentiment that he may ultimately achieve this feat with the record 15-time champions, Real Madrid.

Disregarding accolades, the forward’s goal against Atalanta marked his 50th in merely his 79th appearance in the competition, encompassing his tenures at Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid.

Mbappé has achieved this milestone at the age of 25 years and 356 days, thereby becoming the second-youngest individual to accomplish such a feat. Only Lionel Messi has surpassed him, as the Argentine achieved 50 goals in the Champions League at the age of 24 years and 284 days.

The forward subsequently experienced a streak of four European matches without finding the back of the net prior to his precise finish on Tuesday evening. Subsequently, Madrid netted two additional goals, courtesy of Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, before Ademola Lookman managed to score a consolation goal for Atalanta.

The reigning champions have astonished their supporters with their performance in the Champions League this season, despite experiencing three defeats.Lille unexpectedly triumphed over them initially, followed by consecutive defeats to AC Milan and Liverpool.

At present, it appears that Madrid is poised to conclude the season in the play-off positions, rather than securing a place among the top eight, which would advance them to the round of 16.
