Kylian Mbappé scores 1:0 for Real Madrid against Atalanta Bergamo - the Frenchman's 50th goal in the Champions League. After the game, however, the worries are greater than the jubilation over the anniversary.
Despite scoring the 50th Champions League goal of his career, the evening was anything but ideal for Real Madrid attacker Kylian Mbappé. In the important 3:2 away win against Atalanta Bergamo, the football superstar got the Whites on the right track with his goal to make it 1:0 - but his working day was over before half-time. Mbappé was substituted in the 36th minute, apparently due to muscular problems.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, coach Carlo Ancelotti gave the all-clear and spoke of an "overload" for the French summer transfer. However, shortly before his 26th birthday, the early substitution fits into the picture of a rather unsatisfactory time at Real so far. Since moving to Spain from Paris St. Germain, Mbappé has yet to find the form and class of his time in France.
But his record in the Champions League is still impressive: at the age of 25 years and 356 days, he is the second-youngest professional to reach the 50-goal mark. Only Lionel Messi was younger at the time. Mbappé needed a total of 79 appearances to reach 50 goals. Only Ruud van Nistelrooy (62 games), Messi (66) and Robert Lewandowski (77) were quicker.
