Kylian Mbappé broke a Cristiano Ronaldo benchmark with Real Madrid hat-trick vs Man City | OneFootball

A comparison of the time taken by Kylian Mbappé and Cristiano Ronaldo to net their respective first European hat-tricks for La Liga giants Real Madrid has on Friday been forthcoming.

This of course comes fresh off the former notching his first Real treble in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

En route to a 3-1 downing of Manchester City in the competition’s playoffs, Mbappé proved himself the star of the show, notching all three of Los Blancos’ goals to secure Man of the Match honours.

So, when it comes to the recent history of Real Madrid, how does as much stack up against the greatest goalscorer in the club’s history?

As revealed by Marca, it took Cristiano Ronaldo 31 games on the continent to net his first hat-trick for the reigning Spanish champions.

As much came in the Portuguese’s fourth season with the club.

Kylian Mbappé, on the other hand, managed the feat in just his 10th Champions League game for Real, in his debut campaign with the club.
