Mbappe boasts UCL best ever goal tally for a 20yr old
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo may have set most of the Champions League’s records, but the Argentine and the Portuguese trail Kylian Mbappewhen it comes to goals scored before their 21st birthdays.
Only 20 years and 54 days old, the Frenchman already has 14 goals – 10 of which have come away from home – in the tournament after 24 matches.
Looking at how the all-time top scorers of the competition were doing at his age, nobody even comes close.
Goals scored at 20 / Goals scored after 24 matches
Cristiano Ronaldo: 0 at 20 / 2 after 24 matches
Lionel Messi: 2 at 20 / 11 after 24 matches
Raul: 2 at 20 / 10 after 24 matches
Thierry Henry : 2 at 20 / 11 after 24 matches
Sergio Aguero: 0 at 20 / 7 after 24 matches
Karim Benzema: 6 at 20 / 10 after 24 matches
Edinson Cavani: 0 at 20 / 15 after 24 matches
Ruud Van Nistelrooy: 0 at 20 / 18 after 24 matches
Robert Lewandowski: 0 at 20 / 14 after 24 matches
Neymar: 0 at 20 / 14 after 24 matches
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 0 at 20 / 6 after 24 matches
Andriy Shevchenko: 1 at 20 / 8 after 24 matches
Filippo Inzaghi: 0 at 20 / 16 after 24 matches
He was already the youngest goalscorer in the histories of Monaco and of PSG, the youngest scorer in a Champions League semi-final and the youngest to reach 10 goals in the competition, and this is another record to add to the collection.
