BERGAMO, Italy — Kylian Mbappé scored his 50th Champions League goal, giving Real Madrid a 1-0 advantage at Atalanta on Tuesday.
The France striker used an expert control with his left foot to gather a pass from Brahim Diaz then quickly darted past a defender and unleashed a shot with his right foot into the far corner 10 minutes in.
The 25-year-old Mbappé reached the milestone in 79 matches — the fourth fastest in Champions League history after Ruud van Nistelrooy (62 games), Lionel Messi (66), and Robert Lewandowski (77).
Cristiano Ronaldo leads the all-time Champions League scoring list with 140 goals and Messi is next with 129.
