Kylian Mbappé Overtakes Messi in Champions League Away Goals Record
Kylian Mbappé hits 41 Champions League away goals, passing Lionel Messi's 40 to become the top away scorer in UCL history before turning 30. Full details.
Kylian Mbappé has added another landmark to his Champions League résumé, moving past Lionel Messi in the competition's record books. The French forward's latest strike took his tally of away goals in Europe's elite club tournament to 41, one more than the Argentine great.
A new benchmark for away goals before 30
Messi had scored 40 Champions League goals on the road before reaching his 30th birthday, a figure that stood as the reference point for that age bracket for years. With his 41st, Mbappé now holds the record for the most away goals in Champions League history by a player under the age of 30.
Why the record matters
Scoring away from home in the Champions League is rarely straightforward, with hostile crowds and opponents who are often at their most dangerous on their own pitch. That makes Mbappé's consistency on the road all the more striking. Still in his twenties, he has plenty of time left to climb even higher on the tournament's all-time scoring lists and cement his place alongside its greatest names.
