Mbappé, the stat that kills!

Kylian Mbappé showed the way to victory for PSG on the Le Havre pitch this Sunday. With a 179th goal in Ligue 1 to back it up.

He is not yet 25 – he will celebrate on December 20 – but Kylian Mbappé is already one of the greatest scorers in the history of the French championship. By finding the fault this Sunday in Le Havre (0-2 victory for the Parisians), the captain of the Blues brought the number of his achievements in Ligue 1 to 179. There are only eight to have done better.

The one who already has more than 300 career goals has thus joined the Top 10 of the best scorers in the history of the French first division, joining Carlos Bianchi and Gunnar Anderson at the ninth level. Given his performance this season (15 goals in the space of 14 days), the former Monegasque could quickly rise to seventh position, ahead of Fleury Di Nallo (187) and Joseph Ujlaki (190).

To reach the top for Delio Onnis and his 299 achievements, on the other hand, you will have to stay in Ligue 1 for a long time. PSG, which is still seeking to extend the lease expiring at the end of June for its star striker, will certainly not be against the idea.
