Kylian Mbappé does not like being told about age. On the other hand, the 24-year-old footballer largely prefers to discuss statistics and records. Last night, the Frenchman made history a little more in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against US Pays de Cassel in Lens (7-0 victory). At the Bollaert stadium, the tricolor international was widely applauded, he who made a festival on the lawn. Captain for the first time, KM7 scored a quintuple, including three goals in eleven minutes (29th, 35th, 41st).
Also author of a decisive pass for Neymar, the Frenchman became the first PSG player to score 5 goals in the same match during an official meeting. He also entered the history of the Coupe de France, where he is now the top scorer with 29 units, tied with Jean-Pierre Papin. The crack of Bondy took care of his statistics last night since he is now at 196 goals scored in the Parisian jersey. He is not very far from reaching the record set by Edinson Cavani, top scorer in the history of PSG with 200 goals.
Mbappé has taken care of his statistics
It was also one of his objectives by extending last summer in the club of the capital. Asked about his player after the meeting, Christophe Galtier got fired up. “In the calendar year 2022, he scored 56 goals in 56 games I believe, Kylian is one of the very great strikers, world class strikers, he is one of the best. He is formatted to score but he was not obsessed tonight (yesterday). It’s Kylian, he’s a man of numbers and statistics. I don’t need to encourage him to break records.” The tricolor coach also admitted that Mbappé was appointed vice-captain of PSG this season.
“We decided at the start of the season that Kylian Mbappé should be the second captain. He deserves to have this armband when Marquinhos is absent. And we can say that KM7 was up to the task in this role. He also played the game to the end by answering questions from bein Sports after the game. But no question of pulling the cover to him. “We are happy, we came here to qualify, to respect this team and therefore to play at our level. We will now prepare for Ligue 1 which will arrive on Sunday. Mute since the beginning of the calendar year (he had played 2 matches before), Mbappé woke up very nicely. The striker like PSG hopes that he will continue his momentum with in particular several big deadlines in February.
