Living Legend: Mbappé Stole the Ball from Salzburg's Goalkeeper and Achieved a Record

Mbappé has equaled Henry as the French player with the most goal contributions (75 G/A) in Champions history

Kylian Mbappé continues to leave his mark on the history of the Champions League. In the game against Salzburg, Madrid's forward took advantage of a mistake by goalkeeper Blaswich to score one of the easiest goals of his career.

The goalkeeper tried to dribble past the Frenchman, but Mbappé, always alert, snatched the ball with lightning speed. With hardly any effort, he turned and pushed the ball into the back of the net. The goal made it 3-0 for Real Madrid, consolidating the team's dominance in the game.

Mbappé's reaction said it all. His look of astonishment reflected that he didn't expect his encounter with the goal to come in such an unusual way. However, that goal was not just anecdotal; it marked a historic moment in his career.

Mbappé's historic record in Champions

With this goal, Mbappé equaled Thierry Henry as the French player with the most goal contributions in the history of the Champions League. He already has 75 goals and assists in the competition, establishing himself as one of the most important names in European soccer.

This milestone comes at the best moment for Mbappé since his arrival at Real Madrid. The forward has scored in four consecutive games: against Barcelona in the Supercopa, Celta in the Copa del Rey, Las Palmas in LaLiga, and now against Salzburg in the Champions League.

Goal scorer without limits

With his latest goal, Mbappé has already scored 19 goals this season. The Frenchman doesn't hide his ambition: "I don't set limits for myself. If I reach 40, that's fine, and if it can be more, I'll try," he declared before the match.

Beyond the numbers, Mbappé is proving to be the decisive player Real Madrid has been waiting for years. His leadership in attack, his ability to appear in key moments, and his hunger for titles make him an indispensable figure.

The goal against Salzburg not only boosts his confidence but also confirms his place as a true living legend of soccer. Mbappé continues to prove that he is made to shine at Real Madrid and in the history of the Champions League.
