Kylian Mbappé scored Real Madrid’s second goal in a comeback victory over AEK Athens on Wednesday night, lifting the French forward to 100 goal involvements in the UEFA Champions League, Le Parisien reported. The strike extended his scoring streak to six consecutive Champions League matches and made him only the third player in competition history to reach the 100-involvement mark.
Mbappé reached the milestone in 102 appearances, tying Robert Lewandowski as the second-fastest player to 100 goals or assists in the competition. Only Lionel Messi got there quicker, reaching 100 involvements in 101 matches.
Six Straight Matches on the Scoresheet
The goal against AEK Athens marked Mbappé’s sixth Champions League match with a goal. He previously put together the same run with Paris Saint-Germain between November 2021 and September 2022, Le Parisien noted.
Real Madrid came from behind to win in Athens, and Mbappé’s second-half strike proved decisive in a match that kept the Spanish club perfect through the league phase. Madrid has won all four of its matches so far in this season’s reformatted Champions League group stage.
How the 100 Involvements Break Down by Club
Mbappé’s Champions League career began at AS Monaco, where he scored 6 goals in 9 appearances before moving to Paris Saint-Germain. In the French capital, he became the competition’s most prolific attacking force of his generation, recording 42 goals and 23 assists in 64 matches for PSG. Since joining Real Madrid, he has added 26 goals and 3 assists in 29 appearances, bringing his career total to 74 goals and 26 assists across 102 matches.
The numbers place him among the most productive players in the tournament’s history, though he remains without a Champions League trophy. That gap is the one major item missing from a résumé that already includes a World Cup title with France, where he serves as captain.

What the Milestone Means for Madrid’s Campaign
With four wins from four league-phase matches, Real Madrid sits atop its early standings and looks well positioned to advance deep into the knockout rounds. Each additional match gives Mbappé more opportunities to chase records and, he has said, the Ballon d’Or he openly covets.
The 100-involvement mark is a statistical landmark, not a finish line. Mbappé has reached 100 goals and assists in the Champions League in 102 matches, the second-fastest rate on record behind only Lionel Messi and level with Robert Lewandowski, and Real Madrid has won all four of its league-phase matches.
