The 50-Goal Club: Mbappé and Kane chase personal scoring records | OneFootball

The exclusive '50-goal club' in Europe boasts just two players in 2025. Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane and Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé are experiencing special moments in their careers, chasing scoring titles and personal records, as well as trophies, of course.

Former Tottenham Hotspur man and current England captain Harry Kane left the Premier League to chase titles and settled in well to life in the Bundesliga.

Already a goal-scoring machine at Spurs, he was competing in a more challenging league at a club that, although among the top, could not dominate. At Bayern, he experienced for the first time playing in a hegemonic team with few local rivals. Naturally, he has been surpassing his previous scoring records.

Kane broke his record for goals in a season in 2023/24, as soon as he arrived at Bayern. He is now close to surpassing another personal record, for the full calendar year and counting national team games.

Incredibly, the striker already has 50 goals in 2025 only bettered back in 2017 when he scored 56. Another six goals by the end of the year seems an easy target for the top scorer of the German league . Kane has 12 goals in 9 games and an average of more than one per match. Meanwhile in the Champions League he has already bagged 5 goals in 3 games.

However, it is not just Kane who holds the best record among players in Europe's major competitions.

The Frenchman Kylian Mbappé has already scored 53 goals in 2025, with two more goals last weekend in a 4-0 thrashing over Valencia. And this after he gave up his spot as the official penalty taker to Vinícius Júnior in that match, although the Brazilian ended up missing the opportunity.

Mbappé is the current holder of the European Golden Shoe, is the top scorer in La Liga with 13 goals, and shares the Champions League top scorer position with Kane with five, also averaging more than one goal per game. His best career mark in a year is 56 goals, in 2022. At 26, the French star will only fail to beat his record if he suffers an unusual dry spell or injury.
