Currently, Mbappe is ranked 5th in the list of top scorers in Ligue 1 history (155: 16 goals for Monaco, 139 goals for PSG). Just need to score one more goal, the 24-year-old star will equal the achievement of former player Jean-Pierre Papin (156). Further, Mbappe will aim for the 3rd place of former striker Carlos Bianchi (165).
If he continues to dedicate himself to PSG for many more seasons instead of leaving in the summer transfer window of 2023, Mbappe is fully capable of becoming the best goalscorer in Ligue 1 history. At this time, 2nd place are held by Bernard Lacombe with 227 goals, while the leader is Delio Onnis with 267 shots.
Back to the match against Lens , in addition to 1 goal scored, Mbappe also had 1 more assist for Lionel Messi to raise the score to 3-0. It was an eye-catching assist when Mbappe jerked his heel delicately for Messi to come down and shoot the ball diagonally with his left foot to hit the opponent’s net.
This is Mbappe’s 9th move for PSG in all competitions this season. With just 3 more passes, the World Cup runner-up will reach 100 assists in the PSG shirt.
