Kylan Mbappe equals Cristiano Ronaldo's record, both still ahead of Lionel Messi

Thursday’s match put Real Madrid superfan Mbappe on course to equal Ronaldo’s record for the longest unbeaten run in his career against a given team, Marca reported.

The French international tied Ronaldo’s record against Espanyol by going 16 games without losing against the Marseille team, in an unbelievable coincidence where both players won 14 games and drew two.

Both players have also left behind Argentine soccer legend Lionel Messi, who has beat Racing Santander 11 times and like the Frenchman and the Portuguese, drew twice, staying unbeaten for only 13 games.

Additionally, one thing that all three footballers have in common is that both are undefeated against four teams that they have faced in more than 10 career games.

Teams that never beat Cristiano Ronaldo

Espanyol (14 wins and two draws)

Newcastle (11 and 3)

Bolton (9 and 1)

Deportivo La Coruna (9 and 1)

Teams that never beat Kylian Mbappe

Olympique de Marseille (14 wins and two draws)

Montpellier (14 and 1)

St.-Ettiene (9 and 3)

Brest (9 and 1)

The most notable difference between the three is that Messi and Mbappe have a record of more victories than losses against all of their opponents, a distinction that Ronaldo lacks.

Ronaldo has a record of more losses (15) than victories (10) against Messi’s Barcelona.
