Kylian Mbappe delivered a sensational performance for Real Madrid on Wednesday night, scoring four goals in a thrilling 4-3 victory over Olympiacos. The French forward’s haul moved him past Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen in the race for the UEFA Champions League Golden Boot this season.
Before Matchday 5, Mbappe had five goals, trailing Osimhen by one. His four-goal masterclass has now lifted his tally to nine goals, putting him three goals clear of the Nigerian international after this round of fixtures.
9 goals: Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)
6 goals: Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray)
5 goals: Erling Haaland (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
4 goals: Harvey Barnes (Newcastle), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Lautaro Martínez (Inter), Marcus Rashford (Barcelona), Vitinha (Paris)
Mbappe’s four goals also put him ahead of other elite strikers in Europe, including Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
Victor Osimhen has been sidelined since sustaining an injury during Nigeria’s defeat to DR Congo, but he is expected to return in Galatasaray’s upcoming clash against Fenerbahce this weekend. His return will be closely watched as he aims to close the gap on Mbappe in the Golden Boot race.
Mbappe’s remarkable performance highlights why he remains one of the world’s most prolific forwards. Scoring four goals in a single Champions League fixture is no small feat, and his brilliance keeps Real Madrid on track in the competition while boosting his personal accolades.
