• Kylian Mbappé has established a new benchmark in Real Madrid's storied history with his latest goal against Dortmund
• The ex-PSG star did not need much time to register his first Club World Cup goal after coming off the bench as a substitute
• Mbappe can reach another significant milestone if he scores against his former side Paris Saint-Germain on July 7

Kylian Mbappe has set an all-time Real Madrid record with his latest goal for the Spanish giants at the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.

The former Paris Saint-Germain attacker came off the bench as a second-half substitute to score in the Club World Cup quarter-final tie between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, July 5, 2025.

Mbappe scores his first CWC goal

Mbappe made a perfect debut at the CWC, helping his team win 3-2 with a sublime acrobatic scissor kick, before paying tribute to Diogo Jota by miming the number 20 with his fingers.

According to Liverpool News, defender Ibrahima Konate thanked the Real Madrid superstar for honouring his late Liverpool teammate who was laid to rest alongside his brother Andre Silva on Saturday, July 5.

According to Transfermarkt, this is the 44th goal this season the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has racked up for Real Madrid for the former PSG striker.

Mbappe's goal against Dortmund also sees him on level terms with ex-Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema in terms of most goals scored (44) by a French player in a single season for a club in Europe's leading leagues.

The former AS Monaco sensation would overtake the Saudi Pro League star if he is able to score in the crucial PSG vs. Real Madrid Club World Cup semi-final fixture, which is scheduled for July 7 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

Mbappe sets new Real Madrid record

Kylian Mbappe's stoppage time strike against Borussia Dortmund in Real Madrid's 3-2 triumph against the Bundesliga side at the MetLife Stadium means he is the first player to score at least a goal in seven different competitions in a single season for the Spanish outfit.

The 15-time Champions League winners have contested in Liga, Spanish Cup, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup, and the Club World Cup in the current campaign.

However, Los Blancos have won only two of these competitions. The team clinched the UEFA Super Cup after defeating Italian Serie A side Atalanta 2-0 in Warsaw on August 14 of this year.

Mbappe and Federico Valverde scored the goals to launch Real Madrid's 2024/25 season in a perfect fashion under ex-boss Carlo Ancelotti.

The La Liga powerhouse then secured the Intercontinental Cup after edging out Mexican team Pachuca 3-0 in December 2024 in Lusail, Mbappe, Rodrygo Goes, and Vinicius Junior registering the strikes.

In the meantime, Real Madrid fans are flooding social media with praise for Kylian Mbappé after his recent milestone.

One fan commented:

''I hope Kylian Mbappe wins us the game vs PSG! Vamos!''

Another person wrote:

''Mbappe should win the Ballon d'Or easiy if Real Madrid win the Club World Cup. His numbers are crazy. 44 goals in debut season for the biggest club in the world. Now, aim for PSG for us. Hala Madrid!

A third fan also reacted:

''But come on. Who thought he was going to smash the records with this ease at the start of the season when he always cut frustrated figure like at Liverpool when Bradley dominated him. Mbappe is awaken now and he is firing from cylinders. Stuff Madridistats like to see week in, week out.''

Someone also wrote:

''He is so good. He's also the player with most goals in debut season for real madrid. Best gift Don Florentino handed us after Cristiano Ronaldo in my opinion. And, oh, that goal was sumptous. Would be crazy if he repeates it against is old side.''

While chatting exclusively with Gariba Raubil from YEN.com.gh, Ghanaian football journalist and loyal La Liga fan Stephen Zando believes more is to come from the talented Frenchman.

''More is come from Kylian. He is so ambitious. If I look at how determined he is to rewrite the script in Madrid, I have no doubt he is going to make evern more history in the comming seasons.''
