Mbappe Scores 400th Career Goal, Surpassing Legends

On November 14, 2025, French national team star Kylian Mbappe achieved a significant career milestone, scoring his 400th goal across all competitions. The 26-year-old striker found the net twice in France's 4-0 victory over Ukraine, including a Panenka penalty, to reach the impressive goal tally.

Mbappe's 400 goals have been scored with various clubs and the national team, including 27 for Monaco, 256 for Paris Saint-Germain, 62 for Real Madrid, and 55 for Les Bleus. This achievement has seen him surpass the goal-scoring records of several renowned strikers, such as Harry Kane, Karim Benzema, and Thierry Henry.

The French forward has reached this milestone at a younger age than some of his peers, with Lionel Messi achieving 400 goals at 27 years and 95 days, and Cristiano Ronaldo doing so at 28 years and 335 days. Mbappe's remarkable rise has been fueled by his success with the French national team, which he says has been the "best medicine" for him after a recent dip in form with Real Madrid.

Mbappe's achievement was tinged with a sense of solemnity, as the players were mindful of the 10th anniversary of the Bataclan attacks in Paris. The striker acknowledged the importance of the commemoration, stating that the team wanted to show their identification with the citizens and their compassion for the victims' families.
