Kylian Mbappe finishes the 2025/26 season with a historic milestone unseen in nearly 60 years, claiming the top scorer titles in the World Cup, Champions League, and La Liga, matching the legendary Eusébio's achievement in 1966.
Kylian Mbappe has just entered world football history by recreating a milestone that has existed for nearly 60 years, becoming the first player since the legendary Eusébio in 1966 to lead the scoring charts in the World Cup, UEFA Champions League and domestic league in the same season.
The 2025/26 season witnessed the explosive form of the French star in both Real Madrid and the national team. Although France finished fourth at the 2026 World Cup, Mbappe still affirmed his class as one of the world's best strikers with impressive numbers.
At the 2026 World Cup, the 27-year-old striker scored up to 10 goals, thereby winning the top scorer title. This achievement also helped him raise his total World Cup goals to 22, officially surpassing Lionel Messi to become the all-time top scorer in the tournament's history.
Not only shining on the international stage, Mbappe also dominated the Champions League by scoring 15 goals, leading the scoring charts of the most prestigious club competition in Europe. His goals helped Real Madrid advance deep into the continent's top tournament.
In the domestic league, Mbappe continued to maintain an incredible scoring rate by netting 25 goals in La Liga, thereby winning the top scorer award while playing for Real Madrid.
Three top scorer titles in the same season helped Mbappe recreate a feat that only Eusébio had achieved exactly 60 years ago. In 1966, the Portuguese legend also led the scoring charts in the World Cup, European Cup, and the Portuguese domestic league.
Matching Eusébio’s achievement once again affirms Mbappe's special status in modern football. After many consecutive seasons maintaining an incredible scoring rate, the French striker continues to make his mark with a milestone that many legends such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have never reached in a single season.
