Kylian Mbappe has etched his name into football history by reaching 400 career goals as of November 2025. This milestone has sparked comparisons with two of the sport’s greatest, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, raising the question of who achieved it fastest.
The landmark goal came during France’s World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine, where Mbappe converted a rebound to score his second goal of the evening. This strike marked a significant moment not just for the match, but for his career.
With this achievement, Mbappe set a new benchmark, becoming the quickest footballer ever to score 400 goals. His pace to the milestone has been unprecedented in modern football.
In doing so, he shattered Gerd Muller’s longstanding record, reaching the 400-goal mark 113 days sooner than the German legend. This underscores Mbappe’s extraordinary scoring ability at such a young age.
Mbappe’s record highlights his rise among football’s elite, putting him firmly in the conversation alongside Messi and Ronaldo. The feat demonstrates not only his talent but also his consistency and impact on the game over the years.
