The Frenchman scored in both legs of the quarter-final tie, but was unable to prevent the Spanish side from exiting Europe.

The 27-year-oldscored 15 goals in 11 games during Real Madrid's run to the last eight this season, with only one player having ever scored more goals in a single Champions League season.

Mbappe's prolific European campaign has, however, surpassedLionel Messi's best-ever Champions League campaign.
The formerBarcelona star's best-ever Champions League season saw Messi score 14 times in 2014/15, as the Catalans won the competition.
