Kylian Mbappe has emerged as the leading scorer in the UEFA Champions League league phase, netting an outstanding 13 goals for Real Madrid.

The French forward sits five goals clear of his nearest challenger, underlining his clinical finishing and consistent impact in front of goal.

Mbappé’s explosive start has already eclipsed last season’s joint top scorers, Raphinha and Serhou Guirassy — who both finished the campaign with 13 goals.

Remarkably, Mbappé has reached that figure before the conclusion of the league phase, suggesting he could set a new benchmark if he maintains his current form.
