Kylian Mbappé makes history with remarkable Champions League record

Kylian Mbappé just wrote his name into the history books.

While Real Madrid’s Champions League fixture with Benfica didn’t exactly go according to plan, with the Spanish giants losing 4-2 in a game which saw the Portuguese side’s goalkeeper hit the back of the net, the legendary Frenchman still walked away from the match with a feather in his cap.

Kylian Mbappé breaks the record for the most Champions League goals before the knockout phase

Prior to tonight, Kylian Mbappé shared the record for the most goals before the Champions League knockout stages with the great Cristiano Ronaldo.

The pair both had an incredibly impressive 11 finishes. However, that all changed at the Estádio da Luz, with the 2018 World Cup winner claiming the bragging rights all for himself.

He first made his mark in the 30th minute, before producing a magnificent strike in the second half to take his grand total up to 13 goals, securing a record that won’t be touched anytime soon.

Arsenal fans stunned at Viktor Gökeres miss

It wasn’t just a memorable night for Mbappé, but for Viktor Gyökeres too.

While the Swede scored an excellent goal for Arsenal against Kairat, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for the talented player.

In a moment he’d rather forget, the 27-year-old made a disastrous error.

Proving that even the best aren’t always perfect, Gyökeres missed an open goal.
