French superstar scores 59th goal of 2025 from penalty in 2-0 win over Sevilla, celebrates with Ronaldo’s signature jump at Bernabéu.

Mbappé Equals Ronaldo’s 59-Goal Record

On his 27th birthday, Kylian Mbappé etched his name alongside club legend Cristiano Ronaldo by scoring his 59th goal of the 2025 calendar year for Real Madrid.

The Frenchman converted an 86th-minute penalty in Real Madrid’s 2-0 LaLiga victory over Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabéu on December 20, 2025, matching Ronaldo’s mark set back in 2013.

Cristiano Ronaldo SIUUU

To celebrate the record-equaling moment, Mbappé paid the perfect homage by performing Ronaldo’s iconic “SIUUU” jump and shout, a gesture that sent Bernabéu fans into nostalgia and delight.

Mbappé later explained: “I tied my idol’s record today, Cristiano Ronaldo, the greatest player in this club’s history. My celebration was dedicated to him, he’s my friend and my hero.”

Ronaldo himself holds the all-time Real Madrid scoring record with 450 goals, but Mbappé’s explosive form in 2025 has seen him close in on legendary feats during his second season at the club.

A magical moment blending past and present greatness at the Bernabéu.
