By scoring five goals against the Pays de Cassel (0-7), Kylian Mbappé entered a little more in the history of PSG. And it’s probably not going to stop there.
It is not only the amateur players of Cassel who will keep fond memories of this evening of Monday January 23, 2023. If the members of this Regional 1 team are not ready to forget this confrontation against a juggernaut of world football , Kylian Mbappé also made an impression once again.
Author of five of the seven goals scored by the Ile-de-France team, the native of Bondy became the first player in the history of PSG to score a quintuplet in an official match. This quite admirable performance, despite the weakness of the opponent, also allows the former Monegasque to approach a very symbolic milestone. Indeed, since his arrival in the capital in July 2017, the 2018 world champion has found the net 196 times.
Kylian Mbappé soon ahead of Edinson Cavani
The latter is therefore now four units from Edinson Cavani’s record, 200 goals. There is almost no doubt that the French will come back up to the Uruguayan before overtaking him. At 24, Kylian Mbappé will therefore already become the top scorer in the entire history of Paris Saint-Germain, an extraordinary performance but worthy of his prodigious talent.
And the records don’t stop there. Kylian Mbappé also holds the honorary title of the most prolific scorer of the legend of the Coupe de France, tied with Jean-Pierre Papin. The Parisian and the Marseillais are both at 29 goals. The striker of the Reds and Blues could surpass his eldest from the round of 16. The meeting will oppose PSG to Olympique de Marseille at the Stade Vélodrome, a nice nod to history.
