Dembele set to break Mbappe’s Champions League record

Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe, left Paris Saint-Germain for Real Madrid in the summer of 2024 as the highest goal scorer for the French club, but now one of his records for the club is under threat from the new marksman.

Ousmane Dembele could break a Paris Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League record set by French teammate, Mbappe, when Les Parisiens face Arsenal in the first leg semi-final at the Emirates on Tuesday night.

The former Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund man has amassed a staggering 44 goal contributions in 44 appearances in all competitions this season - 32 goals and 12 assists - as he sits two goals clear of Marseille's Mason Greenwood in the Ligue 1 Golden Boot race.

In the Champions League, Dembele has been directly involved in 10 goals in just 12 appearances, finding the back of the net seven times and setting up his teammates on three occasions.

With 10 goal involvements in the 2024-25 UCL, Dembele needs just two more to break Mbappe's record for the most goal contributions in a single Champions League campaign for PSG.

Mbappe set a new all-time best of 11 in the 2020-21 campaign, registering eight goals and three assists en route to the semi-finals, where Mauricio Pochettino's Parisiens were knocked out by Manchester City.
