Kylian Mbappe joined with Ronaldo after his win over Olympique Marseille and left Lionel Messi behind him.
PSG’s victory over Olympique de Marseille at the Velodrome has set Kylian Mbappe on a path to match Cristiano Ronaldo’s unbeaten record against a specific team. In this instance, Mbappe went 16 games without losing to Marseille, matching Ronaldo’s achievement against Espanyol. Notably, both players won 14 games and drew two.
These numbers firmly separate Mbappe from Lionel Messi’s record, as Messi has only gone unbeaten for 13 games against Racing Santander, winning 11 times and drawing twice, similar to Mbappe and Ronaldo.
However, what Cristiano, Mbappe, and Messi share is their unbeaten status against four teams they have faced more than 10 times throughout their careers.

Cristiano Ronaldo remains undefeated against Espanyol (14 wins and two draws), Newcastle (11 wins and three draws), Bolton, and Deportivo La Coruna (nine wins and one draw). On the other hand, Mbappe has never lost to OM, the team he has faced the most in his career (14 wins and two draws), as well as Montpellier (14 wins and one draw), St.-Ettiene (nine wins and three draws), and Brest (nine wins and one draw).
The notable difference among the three is that while Mbappe and Messi have more wins than losses against all their opponents, Cristiano Ronaldo does not share this balance. In fact, Ronaldo has more defeats (15) than victories (10) against Messi’s Barcelona.
