Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé continued to etch his name into the history books of European football on Wednesday evening. This came courtesy of his contributions during Los Blancos’ meeting with AEK Athens.
José Mourinho’s troops are fresh off keeping alive what has been a stellar run of form since their return from the most recent international break.
After making the trip to Greece for a Champions League meeting with the aforementioned AEK, Real emerged hard-fought 3-2 victors, courtesy of a last-gasp Federico Valverde worldie.
The aforementioned Kylian Mbappé was also amongst the scorers on the evening, dragging the visitors level during the 2nd-half with a close-range finish.
And as alluded to above, in the process, the Frenchman secured fresh history… As revealed by statisticians Opta:
‘Kylian Mbappé’s goal for Real Madrid vs AEK Athens was his 100th goal involvement in the UEFA Champions League. He reached that tally in 102 appearances – only Lionel Messi (101) reached the century quicker than he did.’
