Kylian Mbappe outshone Lionel Messi by scoring twice in Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory over Barcelona, setting a new El Clasico record with eight goals in his first seven appearances in the rivalry on Monday (October 26).

The French forward surpassed Messi, who scored six goals in his first seven El Clasico matches, while also reaching 100 goals for Real Madrid in just 116 appearances.

Only Ferenc Puskas, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alfredo Di Stefano and Pahino reached the 100-goal milestone for Real Madrid in fewer matches.

Mbappe’s brace also ended Barcelona’s 23-match unbeaten home run, intensifying the La Liga title race.

The 27-year-old has continued his prolific scoring form after netting 59 goals in 2025, matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s club record for goals in a calendar year.
