On Wednesday evening, Real Madrid faced Benfica in the 8th and final matchday of the Champions League group stage. While the Madrid side were being held to a draw by the Lisbon team (2-1) despite Kylian Mbappé opening the scoring, the Frenchman had already achieved a major feat.

Indeed, Mbappé's goal allowed him to break a historic record set by Cristiano Ronaldo. With 12 goals to his name, the French striker has become the player with the most goals scored in a single Champions League group stage. He now stands one ahead of CR7.
