Kylian Mbappe has reached a historic career milestone, scoring his 400th career goal for club and country at just 26 years, 10 months, and 24 days old.
The French captain achieved this remarkable feat on November 14th, 2025, during France’s commanding 4-0 victory over Ukraine in their 2026 World Cup qualifying match at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
How the Milestone Was Reached
According to reports by Goal.com, Mbappe netted a brace in the match against Ukraine, with his first goal coming from a Panenka penalty. His second goal of the evening marked the historic 400th of his professional career.
The performance not only secured his personal achievement but also clinched France’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, their 8th consecutive World Cup appearance.
Youngest Since Pele
At 26 years and 328 days, Mbappe is the youngest player to reach the 400-goal mark in the 21st century. BeSoccer reports that this accomplishment puts him ahead of some of football’s greatest names.
Lionel Messi reached 400 goals at 27 years and 3 months, while Cristiano Ronaldo achieved this milestone at 28 years and 11 months.
In the history of the game, only Pelé reached 400 goals faster than Mbappé, achieving the mark when he was only 23.
Career Breakdown by Club and Country
Mbappe’s 400 goals are distributed across his distinguished career spanning three elite clubs and the French national team.
He began his professional career at AS Monaco between 2015 and 2018, scoring 27 goals over three seasons.
His move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 marked his transformation from prodigy to global superstar, where he scored 256 goals in seven seasons, making him the all-time leading scorer in PSG history.
