How many Champions League goals has Mbappé scored?

Kylian Mbappé has scored 46 goals in 69 UEFA Champions League appearances, taking the competition by storm since bursting onto the scene with Monaco in 2016/17. Still just 25, the France striker is already joint 11th in the list of all-time Champions League scorers (excluding qualifying) and only two goals shy of Zlatan Ibrahimović and Andriy Shevchenko in the top ten.

Games: 69
Goals: 46

By club
Monaco: 9 games, 6 goals
Paris: 60 games, 40 goals

Paris-born Mbappé served notice of his intention with six goals for Monaco in his first season in the Champions League and he has scored at least four times in every campaign since. His tenth Champions League goal, in a 3-1 defeat at Bayern München in December 2017, made him the youngest player to reach that mark at the age of 18 years and 350 days.

Erling Haaland has been jostling for records with Mbappé since and the pair will have some of the numbers set by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema in their sights.

How many Champions League hat-tricks has Mbappé scored?

Mbappé has scored two Champions League hat-tricks, both of them away from home, in Paris's 5-0 win at Club Brugge in October 2019 and 4-1 success at Barcelona in the 2020/21 round of 16. He converted a penalty in the return leg of that latter tie to eclipse Messi as the youngest player to hit 25 goals in the Champions League, aged 22 years 80 days, though Haaland has since broken that record.
