MADRID, Dec 21, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Kylian Mbappe matched Cristiano Ronaldo's club record for goals in a calendar year and Jude Bellingham also scored as Real Madrid beat Sevilla 2-0 on Saturday in La Liga. French superstar Mbappe levelled Ronaldo's tally of 59 goals in 2013 by stroking home a late penalty, after Bellingham sent Madrid ahead with a first half header. Courtois twice denied Isaac Romero early in the second half, while Mbappe intensified his search to emulate Ronaldo's record. The forward sent Vlachodimos the wrong way as he stroked in his 59th of the year, to match Ronaldo's record. Elsewhere Celta Vigo rose to seventh even though they could only draw 0-0 at struggling Real Oviedo, while Levante held Real Sociedad 1-1.
