Kylian Mbappé reached a remarkable milestone of 50 goals for Real Madrid as the Spanish giants fought from behind to beat Marseille 2-1 in their UEFA Champions League group stage match at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night.

The French forward netted twice from the penalty spot, first in the 29th minute and then again in the 81st, to seal the comeback victory. With this brace, Mbappé has now scored 50 goals in just 64 appearances for Real Madrid.

“It’s a pleasure to be here and experience another Champions League night,” Mbappé said after the match. “It was tough when we went down to 10 men, but the Bernabeu always brings that Champions League spirit. We expect to win here, and today we did.”

Marseille struck first through Timothy Weah in the 22nd minute, while Madrid were reduced to ten men in the 72nd minute after Dani Carvajal was shown a red card for head-butting the goalkeeper.

Mbappé, who has now bagged six goals in five matches this season, expressed his delight: “I’m feeling really good. I want us to move forward together to win trophies.”

On handling the pressure of the penalties, the Frenchman added: “I need that kind of challenge to give my best. I’m happy I scored and helped Madrid win our first Champions League game of the new season.”
