To put the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner's brilliance into context, perhaps it would be interesting to take a look at some high-profile names he has already surpassed on the goalscoring chart of Europe's premier club tournament.
Ex-Arsenal and Manchester United frontman Robin van Persie features on the star-studded list, with the Dutchman managing only 25 goals in 59 Champions League games for those two clubs.
The iconic Rivaldo is another big name Mbappe has already overtaken in the ranking, as is former Ajax Amsterdam and Barcelona striker Patrick Kluivert, who retired from football with 29 strikes in the competition.
