How many goals has Mbappé scored in 2025?

2025 was not a favorable year for Mbappé in particular, or Real Madrid in general. In the second half of the 2024/25 season, they ended up empty-handed, failing to defend their Champions League title and losing the La Liga championship to Barcelona. Despite this, Mbappé remained a rare bright spot for the club, displaying incredibly impressive form and consistently scoring goals to help Real Madrid overcome difficult periods. goaloomobi.com looks back at how many goals has Mbappé scored in 2025.

How many goals has Mbappé scored in 2025?

In the calendar year of 2025, Mbappé scored a total of 59 goals for Real Madrid. With this achievement, the French striker officially equaled the record for the most goals scored in a calendar year for Real Madrid, previously set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2013. He reached the milestone of 59 goals on his 27th birthday (December 20, 2025) with a penalty goal against Sevilla.

Of the 59 goals Mbappé scored, 30 came in the latter stages of the 2024/25 season. In total for the entire season, Mbappé scored 44 goals for Real Madrid and won the European Golden Boot with 31 goals in La Liga. In the second half of 2025 (the early part of the 2025/26 season), Mbappé scored 29 goals (up to the end of December 2025), most notably a four-goal performance against Olympiacos in the Champions League and a hat-trick against Barcelona in El Clásico.

Besides his club goalscoring record, Mbappé also scored 7 goals in 8 appearances for the French national team, bringing his total goals for the year (club and national team combined) to 66.

Mbappé's goalscoring record in 2025

As mentioned, Mbappé in particular and Real Madrid in general experienced a relatively difficult 2025. In La Liga, they finished second with a total of 84 points, 4 points behind their rivals Barcelona. In the remaining domestic competitions, Mbappé and Real Madrid were unable to win any titles. They finished as runners-up in both the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey after losing to Barcelona.

Internationally, Mbappé and Real Madrid's performances were not particularly impressive. In the Champions League, they were eliminated in the quarter-finals after losing to Arsenal 5-1 on aggregate over two legs, including a heavy 0-3 defeat in the first leg. At the 2025 Club World Cup, they reached the semi-finals but suffered a 0-4 loss to PSG. As a result, Real Madrid ended the 2024/25 season without winning any trophies.

However, Mbappé still delivered strong performances for the French national team, helping them qualify for the 2026 World Cup and secure a place in the tournament held in North America. In the UEFA Nations League, France finished third after losing 4-5 to Spain in the semi-finals.

Mbappé's playing style in 2025

In 2025, Mbappé played for Real Madrid under two different coaches: Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso. Under Ancelotti, Mbappé was often allowed to drift to the left wing or drop deeper to stretch the opposing defense. However, this sometimes created overlap with Vinícius Jr., so Ancelotti frequently instructed both players to switch positions during matches to maintain unpredictability and avoid congestion on the left flank.

In addition, Ancelotti built a system where Jude Bellingham pushed forward to draw defenders, creating space for Mbappé to attack from deeper positions. At times, the team used formations such as 4-4-2 diamond or 4-2-3-1, allowing Bellingham to drop deeper and leaving more attacking responsibility to the Mbappé - Vinícius duo. However, Mbappé still spent a significant amount of time playing as a central striker, which sometimes limited his ability to fully utilize his pace. To address this, Ancelotti emphasized quick transitional play, where one player acted as a decoy while the other made runs into open space.

Later, under Xabi Alonso, Mbappé’s role became more flexible and refined. He often started in a central position but was allowed to drift toward the left wing when Vinícius moved inside. This fluid movement made it much harder for defenders to mark him consistently. Alonso also created more transition opportunities by applying high pressure, allowing Mbappé to receive the ball in dangerous situations facing the goal.

Furthermore, Alonso required Mbappé to drop deeper and participate more in build-up play. His connection with Bellingham became a key tactical feature. When Mbappé dropped deep to pull defenders out of position, Bellingham would surge forward into the space, and vice versa. This “opposite movement” helped Real Madrid maintain a constant attacking threat without disrupting the team’s balance.

However, building the system around Mbappé also created certain challenges. Vinícius Jr. received fewer passes and became less effective on the left wing, leading to a slight decline in his form. As a result, Real Madrid occasionally struggled to maintain overall attacking balance despite Mbappé’s outstanding individual performances.
