Mbappé, it’s historic!

By scoring a penalty on Tuesday against Borussia Dortmund, Kylian Mbappé entered the annals of football.

Kylian Mbappé did not particularly shine on Tuesday against Borussia Dortmund. Very active as usual, the French world champion rarely made the right gesture, whether in his transmissions or in front of goal as evidenced by his two big misses at the end of the match when he had the opportunity to give a little more scope for PSG’s victory and to offer themselves a third consecutive double.

Because despite his inaccuracies, Kylian Mbbappé opened the scoring shortly after returning from the locker room. A goal scored from the penalty spot which put the French champions on the path to success (2-0). Thanks to this achievement, the Bondynois also improved his statistics in the Champions League.

Now the author of 41 goals in the competition, the former Monegasque also has 35 goals with PSG alone, which allows him to rise to the level of Thierry Henry, who has the same total with Arsenal. Only one French player does better: Karim Benzema, who scored no less than 78 goals with Real Madrid.

Mbappé’s crazy series

Already author of 8 goals in 5 matches this season, Kylian Mbappé also scored 16e consecutive match in all competitions while proving decisive. Sixteen matches during which the Frenchman totaled 20 goals and 3 assists. His best career series. And for good reason.

According to the specialized account StatsMbappé, KM7 surpasses Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who had never done better than 15 matches in a row while proving decisive, in all competitions. At 21e century, no player does better. The Frenchman currently shares the record with Robert Lewandowski and Neymar and will have the opportunity to beat it on Sunday during the Classic against OM.
