Mbappé Champions League record: scores on 100th appearance to pass Raúl
Kylian Mbappé scored on his 100th Champions League appearance in Real Madrid's 4-3 win at Roma, moving past Raúl into the all-time top five with 72 goals.
Kylian Mbappé marked his 100th Champions League appearance with a goal and a new place in the competition's history books. The France captain scored in Real Madrid's dramatic 4-3 win at Roma on 14 October 2026, matchday two of the league phase at the Stadio Olimpico. The Mbappé Champions League record goal was his 72nd in the competition, lifting him above Raúl González and into the all-time top five, and according to theScore and Al Jazeera he is the youngest player ever to reach 100 Champions League appearances, at 27.
Mbappé Champions League record: 72 goals and past Raúl
Roma struck first through Marten de Roon in the 20th minute, but Mbappé needed less than five minutes to respond. Pouncing on a misjudgment by Mario Hermoso, he levelled the score and, in doing so, moved to 72 Champions League goals. That took him past Raúl, the Real Madrid legend who scored 71 goals in the competition for Real Madrid and Schalke, and into the top five of the all-time scoring list.
For a club with Real Madrid's European history, overtaking Raúl carries particular symbolism. Raúl was for many years the face of the club's Champions League era, and Mbappé now stands above him in the record books after just 100 appearances.

How Real Madrid came from 3-1 down at Roma
Mbappé's goal was only the start of a chaotic evening. Early in the second half, Roma seized control through Donyell Malen, who scored twice in quick succession; the second of his goals was awarded after a VAR review. At 3-1 down, Real Madrid appeared to be heading for a first defeat of the league phase.
Instead, the visitors produced a stunning finish. Real scored three times in the closing minutes, and all three goals came from corners. Carlos Espí pulled one back, Endrick levelled, and Antonio Rüdiger completed the turnaround in the 90th minute. According to Al Jazeera's match report, Endrick was named man of the match after coming off the bench, rewarding a decisive cameo.

Youngest to 100 Champions League appearances
Reaching 100 appearances in Europe's elite club competition is itself a mark of longevity, but doing it at 27 underlines how early Mbappé became a fixture at this level. Both theScore and Al Jazeera report that no player has reached the landmark at a younger age. His Champions League journey began at Monaco, continued through his years at Paris Saint-Germain, and has now reached a new chapter in Madrid.
What the win means for Real Madrid and Roma
The comeback kept Real Madrid's perfect start intact. They have six points from two league-phase games, and the latest Yalla Shoot standings show them eighth in the 36-team table with six goals scored and four conceded, part of a group of nine sides with maximum points. Roma, who led for much of the night, have just one point from their two games and sit 25th.
The result will sting for Roma, whose domestic form has been strong. They are third in Serie A with 14 points and are unbeaten after six matches, while Malen leads the Serie A scoring charts with six goals. For Real Madrid, the win offers a lift after a mixed run in La Liga, where they are fourth with 18 points from eight games. Mbappé has seven league goals and two assists so far, according to Yalla Shoot data.
Background: Mbappé at Real Madrid
