Mbappe's hat-trick included the fastest goal ever in the history of the Ligue, as it took the Frenchman just eight seconds to find the back of the net.
The 23-year-old had the ball courtesy of Lionel Messi's majestic pass over the top of the Lille defence, allowing Mbappe to lob keeper Leo Jardim.
The ex-Monaco ace went on to add to his tally in the 66th and 87th minute, with Messi, Achraf Hakimi, and Neymar also getting their names on the scoresheet.
Reacting to his impressive performance, Mbappe shared a photo of him celebrating one of the goals on Instagram, which he captioned:
