Kylian Mbappe, who was rumored to be leaving the club after it was announced that he was unhappy, broke a record on Tuesday, October 11, to become the all-time highest goal scorer in the Champions League, overtaking the club’s legend Edinson Cavani.
Mbappe now possesses 31 goals in 45 games one goal ahead of Edinson Cavani with 30 goals in 54 matches.
Mbappe scored a penalty in the Champions League against Benfica, but the game ended in a 1-1 draw, keeping PSG on top of the group with eight points from four games.
In the 62nd minute, another penalty by Joao Mario tied the score for Benfica when he spectacularly volleyed the ball into the roof of the net in the 87th minute.
Mbappe scored again and briefly believed he had secured PSG’s victory and began celebrating. However, the goal was called back for an offside position.
Cavani scored 200 goals while playing for the French powerhouse for seven years.
Mbappe has been a great player for the club and his country, aside from his moral character. With Messi and Neymar, he has broken exceptional records this season.
The playmaker is giving everything he has to his team this year in an effort to make it successful.
How Mbappe Has Transformed PSG this Season
Mbappe has eight goals in Ligue 1 this year, with Neymar and Messi providing the most of the assists. The PSG assault now has additional sauce thanks to him, but the French Giant’s defense continues to be his only weakness.
If he continues in this vein, he might surpass Erling Haaland, who has 20 goals so far this year, to become the top scorer in Europe.
Mbappe’s top priorities are to win the Champions League and the World Cup, and he is eager to do so. The only thing that might prevent him from succeeding is if he avoids controversies.
Kylian Mbappe is currently contracted to PSG through 2025, according to sporting director Luis Campos, who spoke out before the game to refute the rumors.
What Next For Kylian Mbappe And PSG
Olympic Marseille will be welcomed by PSG on October 16, 2022 at 8:00 p.m.
The PSG team must win because a loss to Marseille would cause them to lose first place in the standings, which would be extremely disastrous for Christopher Gailter and his team.
Due to a red card, Sergio Ramos will not be playing, while Lionel Messi is now injured. The French winger is looking for a formation that will allow him to score enough goals.
He will be quite thrilled if Gailter starts a striker and places Mbappe on the left side of the field in order for him to explore.
