Kylian Mbappé scores four goals against Olympiacos, becoming the fourth Real Madrid player in history to achieve the feat in the Champions League.
Kylian Mbappé delivered a sensational performance for Real Madrid on Wednesday November 26, 2025, scoring all four goals in a 4-3 Champions League victory against Olympiacos. The feat makes him only the fourth player in the club’s history to score four goals in a single European match, joining the ranks of Cristiano Ronaldo, Alfredo Di Stéfano, and Ferenc Puskás.
The French forward’s performance marked a historic first for Los Blancos on Greek soil, securing Real Madrid’s debut official win in Olympiacos’ stadium. Mbappé also recorded the second fastest Champions League hat-trick in history, completing three goals in just six minutes and 42 seconds — narrowly missing Mohamed Salah’s record of six minutes and 12 seconds.
Despite the heroics, some critics have suggested that Real Madrid is overly reliant on Mbappé’s scoring. The 26-year-old, however, dismissed the notion, calling for a reframing of the debate. “You shouldn’t say ‘Mbappé-dependence,’ you should say that Kylian is one of the reasons we haven’t won because my job is to score goals,” he told RM Play. “Ultimately, that’s it. You shouldn’t say ‘dependence,’ you should come and say that Kylian hasn’t scored and that Kylian has to score.”

Mbappé’s tally this season now stands at 22 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions, with nine in the Champions League alone — three more than Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and just four shy of last season’s golden boot leaders Raphinha and Serhou Guirassy.
Reflecting on joining the exclusive list of Real Madrid legends, Mbappé remained modest. “Good company, no? These are players that have marked the history of Real Madrid, that marked an era of Real Madrid. It’s an honor for me to be part of this list,” he said. He added that, despite achieving this milestone less than a year after joining the club, he still has much to accomplish to be remembered alongside the greats.
Mbappé’s four-goal performance underscores his status as one of the most prolific forwards in world football today. With the Champions League campaign underway and domestic competitions in full swing, his continued form could see him cement his place among Real Madrid’s pantheon of legendary players while leading the club’s quest for further silverware this season.
