Kylian Mbappé has scored in his last seven matches for Real Madrid, taking his run to eight goals and bringing him closer to Cristiano Ronaldo's record. The Frenchman must still score in five consecutive matches to equal Ronaldo's run of 12, reports La Nouvelle Tribune.

Kylian Mbappé, the French Real Madrid forward, has scored eight goals in his last seven matches, according to La Nouvelle Tribune. His run began on 14 October in the Champions League against AS Roma and continued against Sevilla FC, RB Leipzig, FC Barcelona, Racing Santander, AEK Athens and Valencia.

Mbappé must still score in five consecutive matches to equal Cristiano Ronaldo's run of 12 matches with at least one goal in 2018. Erling Haaland, Manchester City's forward, equalled that total in 2025, according to La Nouvelle Tribune.

The next four matches cited are scheduled against Elche on 23 November, PSV Eindhoven on 24 November, Olympiakos on 26 November and Girona on 30 November. In the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo also retains the record of 11 consecutive matches with a goal, according to La Nouvelle Tribune.

Real Madrid had beaten Valencia 3-0 in La Liga on 7 November, in a match in which Mbappé extended his run. The victory had been covered in a previous article about Real Madrid beat Valencia 3-0 in La Liga.
