Kylian Mbappe scored a club-record 201st goal as he went clear of Edinson Cavani at the top of the PSG goal charts in an entertaining 4-2 win over Nantes.
PSG went 2-0 up at the Parc des Princes with Lionel Messi’s 1000th career goal contribution opening the scoring before a Jaouen Hadjam own goal.
However, Nantes came back to level before half-time thanks to PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma getting caught out at his near post for a Ludovic Blas goal before making a fumble that led to Ignatius Ganago’s equaliser.
Mbappe crossed for Danilo Pereira to head the home side back in front on the hour mark before his crowning moment came late in the game.
The France forward, who turned 24 in December, has established himself as a footballing superstar having played at two World Cup finals, winning the trophy in 2018 and earning the Golden Boot as top scorer in 2022.
Mbappe, who also won the 2021 Nations League with his country, scored a hat-trick in December’s World Cup final against Argentina, which France lost on penalties after a 3-3 draw.
Since joining PSG from Monaco in 2017 for a world-record fee for a teenager, Mbappe has won four Ligue 1 titles and topped the division’s scoring charts for each of the past four seasons.
This season, the forward has now scored 30 goals and made eight assists – taking his total to 85 for the club in 247 games.
