300 career goals scored at the age of 24 years and 333 days. Kylian Mbappé has even more impressive passing times than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Saturday evening, in a qualifying match for Euro 2024, with the Blues against Gibraltar, Kylian Mbappé crossed the 300 career goal mark. In the space of a single year, the Paris Saint-Germain striker has scored 40% of his total for the French team. But how far is the native of Bondy capable of going?

According to Jean-Pierre Papin, he is not ready to stop there. “When you’re not even 25 and you’ve already scored 300 goals, the best is yet to come. Such precocity, such regularity, is rare, almost unique. The bar is so high and every time, he pushes it. The question is: can he do more? I think yes, that he is someone who, without injury, can achieve a career to score, over the next few seasons, between 45 goals and 55 goals per year for years to come,” confided the former star striker. of Olympique de Marseille in an interview with L’Equipe.

“JPP” is full of praise for Kylian Mbappé. “To be around him a little, I know that he breathes football, that he prepares well… It’s like talking about Messi and Ronaldo: since the age of 16, they have played every match. These guys are just on another planet, and Kylian is a part of that. I wish him to double his goal total within four or five years”concludes the man who was the star striker of the Blues in the first part of the 90s.
