In the early morning of September 17, the new season of the Champions League rekindled. Real Madrid, which is currently advancing in La Liga, faced Marseille at home in this game. With one goal in the first half and one less player in the second half, with Mbappe's penalty kick twice, Real Madrid reversed and defeated Marseille 2-1, achieving a good start to the Champions League. After Mbappe's game, the total number of goals scored in the Champions League reached 57, ranking sixth in history. However, judging from the current situation, it is difficult to become the first in history before the age of 35.

Just 5 minutes into the first half, Arnoldla injured his thigh muscle and was forced to leave the field. Greenwood assisted, and Weiah took the lead in Marseille. In the 28th minute, Rodrigo created a point, and Mbappe achieved it overnight. The two teams played 1-1 in the first half. In the 72nd minute of the second half, Carvajal had an argument with goalkeeper Ruli, and then Carvajal knocked him down. After watching VAR, the referee directly sent off Espanyol, and Real Madrid had to fight ten people. In the 82nd minute, Vinicius shot in the penalty area, and the ball was blocked by Medina. When Medina fell to the ground, she touched the ball with her arm. The referee awarded a penalty and Mbappe scored again. However, this penalty caused great controversy after the game. In the end, Real Madrid reversed the victory over Marseille 2-1 while falling behind 0-1 at home, winning their first Champions League victory in the new season.

With the penalty kick double shots in this game, Mbappe's Champions League career data is currently 88 games with 57 goals, surpassing Van Nicht to tie Mueller, and is currently tied for sixth in the Champions League history scorer list, with Ronaldo 140 goals, Messi 129 goals, Lewandowski 105 goals, Benzema 90 goals and Raul 71 goals. It is not difficult to see that Mbappe is still 83 goals away from Ronaldo, who is ranked first. Assuming that Mbappe scored 10 goals per season and was not affected by injuries, it would take at least 8-9 seasons to catch up with Ronaldo. Considering that Mbappe is about to be 27 years old, in other words, the probability of Mbappe stabilizing the Champions League scorer list before the age of 35 is slim. Ronaldo's 140 goals in the Champions League data is even unprecedented.
