Historic Mbappé record! The Frenchman opens the scoring against Benfica and sets a unique milestone

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé etched his name into the annals of world football during the Champions League matchday 8 clash against Lisbon's Benfica.

Details: It was Kylian who broke the deadlock in this encounter, finding the back of the net in the 30th minute of the first half. This clinical strike allowed the Frenchman to become the first player in his country's history to reach the 40-goal mark in six consecutive seasons (including both club and national team goals).

For the past six years, Mbappé has consistently produced world-class scoring numbers, unfazed by changing leagues and immense pressure. No great French striker before him—not even the legendary Thierry Henry or Karim Benzema—managed to maintain a 40-goal season streak for such an extended period without a single dip in form.

Benfica, however, managed to draw level soon after. In the 36th minute, Andreas Schjelderup found the net.
