The White House had taken the lead thanks to their star man, Kylian Mbappé. With a cool finish, the French national team captain found the back of the net, confirming his status as Real Madrid’s offensive leader on the European stage. But Benfica quickly responded, managing to equalize and reigniting the suspense in this crucial encounter.
Beyond the scoreline, this goal by Mbappé carries historical significance. With 12 goals now, the French forward becomes the player with the most goals in a Champions League group stage. He surpasses a legend of the Madrid club and world football, Cristiano Ronaldo, who previously held this record.
This is a symbolic performance for Mbappé, who continues to write his own story in the premier competition, donning the Real Madrid colors, and confirms his status as a superstar capable of leaving his mark on the big European nights.
