Kylian Mbappe is the youngest player with at least 400 goals since Pele. Kylian Mbappe is faster than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to score 400 career goals.
The Real Madrid and France forward reached this milestone yesterday, scoring a brace in a 4-0 win over Ukraine in World Cup 2026 qualifying. Kylian was 26 years, 10 months and 24 days old at that time.
According to Transfermarkt, Mbappe became the youngest player to score 400 goals. He is several months ahead of Gerd Müller (27 years, 2 months and 17 days) and Lionel Messi (27 years, 3 months and 3 days). At the same time, Kylian played more matches than them (537 versus 403 and 525, respectively).
As Get French Football News and OneFootball point out, Pele could have scored 400 goals at a younger age. The Brazilian could have had that much already at the age of 20 or 23, depending on which statistics were taken into account. Thus, Mbappe may be ranked second in history, not first.
