Mbappe Breaks Goal record as PSG Win Ahead of Bayern Showdown

• Kylian Mbappe has become PSG's all-time top scorer
• The Frenchman scored a beauty against Nantes on Saturday
• He has now scored 201 goals for the Ligue 1 giants

Kylian Mbappe became Paris Saint-Germain's all-time top scorer with his 201st goal for the club as the Ligue 1 leaders warmed up for their crunch trip to Bayern Munich with a 4-2 win over Nantes on Saturday.

The France superstar had equalled Edinson Cavani's previous record mark of 200 goals with a brace in last week's win at Marseille and went one better by netting in stoppage time at the Parc des Princes.

PSG had earlier squandered a two-goal lead, with Lionel Messi putting them ahead and a Jaouen Hadjam own goal making it 2-0 inside 17 minutes before Nantes fought back to draw level.

Ludovic Blas pulled one back for the visitors and Ignatius Ganago equalised, but Mbappe set up Danilo Pereira to put PSG back in front on the hour mark and then claimed his record-breaking goal late on.

Mbappe reached the record in just 247 appearances since signing from Monaco aged 18 in 2017.

Uruguay star Cavani needed 298 games, and seven years, to establish the previous record in 2020.

The 24-year-old Mbappe was handed a trophy by the club after the game to mark his record in an on-field presentation.

"I play to make history and I have always said I wanted to make history in France, in the capital of my country, in my city, and I am doing that. It's magnificent, but there is still a lot to be done," Mbappe, who finished the game as captain, told broadcaster Canal Plus.

"For me, as a native Parisian, this is special. If someone had said to me I would score the goal to beat the record while wearing the captain's armband, I would not have believed it."

The result saw PSG open up a lead of 11 points at the top of Ligue 1 before nearest rivals Marseille play on Sunday, and before the Qatar-owned club go to Bayern for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday.

PSG trail 1-0 from the first leg against the Bavarians and failure to progress to the quarter-finals in Europe would put a major dampener on the end of their season.

Why Mbappe cannot Drive his Ferrari

Footballers love fancy cars and Paris Saint-Germain attacker Kylian Mbappe isn’t an exception.

The 24-year-old has a garage full of lots of luxury automobiles with the latest being the Ferrari 488 Pista, with a 720 hp V8, which costs around €500,000.

The 2018 World Cup winner also owns other luxury cars including a Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, an Audi A6, a Mercedes-Benz V-Class and a Range Rover.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Kylian Mbappe has been advised to please his mother by signing for English Premier League giants, Liverpool when he finally leaves Paris Saint-Germain.

The 24-year-old forward has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid despite turning down the La Liga champions to extend his deal with PSG last summer.

Mbappe’s mom, Fayza Lamari is a big Liverpool fan and she would prefer her son play for the Reds rather than join Los Blancos when he leaves France.
