Kylian Mbappé tops the Champions League goalscoring charts this season ahead of the round of 16.
The Frenchman now has 13 for Real Madrid in the Europe’s premier club competition this season so far.
This season he hit the second-fastest hat-trick in Champions League history — netting three in a blistering six minutes and 42 seconds in the first half. He added a fourth on the hour mark, and it wasn’t just for good measure, as Real squeezed Olympiakos 4-3.
In fact, Mbappé’s recent exploits place him sixth on the all-time list with 68 goals, and he’s honing in on Madrid legend Raúl — who scored 71.
Bayern Munich‘s Harry Kane has eight goals this term but isn’t the top scoring Englishman.
Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United has scored 10, bettered only by Mbappé. His tally was helped by bagging four in a 6-1 win over Qarabag.
They’re trailed by Erling Haaland and Victor Osimhen who have seven goals each.

Widening the scope to every Champions League campaign, the top ranks remain occupied by the usual suspects.
In his 19 years appearing in the competition, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 140 goals in 189 appearances, the bulk during his gilded spell at the Bernabéu.
Lionel Messi managed 129 goals, placing him second, while Robert Lewandowski is the third player on triple figures, with 107.
At 27 years of age, Mbappé will certainly feel he has time to climb the ladder further.
