The incredible French striker Kylian Mbappe has made history once again, this time in front of his Paris Saint-Germain fans and on the night his teammate Lionel Messi scored the 799th goal of his career.
It was the Argentine who opened the scoring in an eventual 4-2 rout of Nantes, and had he scored his 800, he might have eclipsed Mbappé’s incredible record.
In just 247 appearances according to ESPN FC, the striker has become the Ligue One club’s all-time top scorer.

Going into Saturday night’s game, he was level at 200 with Edinson Cavani, but his late goal saw him move one ahead of the Uruguayan in the history books.
It was another golden moment in a career in which the player scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final, won the World Cup as a teenager, and won multiple club and singles titles despite being just 24 years old.

There seems to be no limit to how good the player can get, and perhaps the only blemish in his copybook at this stage is the fact that PSG have failed to secure the coveted Champions League title.

If the French giants can hang on to Mbappé and Messi for at least one or two more seasons, that dream could well come true.
If he does, don’t be at all surprised if the French striker is at the heart of bringing another trophy to the Parc des Princes.
