Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé has emerged as the standout marksman of the UCL league phase, scoring an impressive 13 goals, putting him firmly ahead of his competitors.

The French forward’s tally is five goals more than second-placed Harry Kane, demonstrating his lethal finishing and consistent threat in front of goal.

This is according to a post obtained from UEFA’s X handle on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Mbappé’s early-season exploits have drawn comparisons to last season, where the joint top scorers, Raphinha and Serhou Guirassy, finished the campaign with 13 goals each.

Remarkably, Mbappé has already surpassed that total well before the end of the league phase, signalling that he could exceed his previous personal bests if he maintains this form.

His goal-scoring spree has been pivotal to Real Madrid’s attacking strategy, just as he is known for his exceptional pace, technical skill, and clinical finishing, Mbappé has scored in a variety of ways from precise long-range strikes to opportunistic tap-ins inside the box.

His movement off the ball, ability to create space, and composure under pressure have made him nearly impossible for defenders to contain.
