6. The most expensive teenager ever
PSG barely gave Mbappe two seasons to establish himself at Monaco before bringing him to the Parc des Princes. A one-year loan move created the groundwork for a massive, record-breaking move the following season.
Mbappe became the world's most expensive teenager and the second-most expensive soccer transfer after signing on the dotted line at PSG for an estimated £200 million.
5. Ligue 1 Player of the Year
It was a new environment for Mbappe but the same outcome at the conclusion of the season as the attacker won back-to-back Ligue 1 titles in 2017/18, scoring 21 goals in 44 games for PSG.
The teenager would also win the UNFP Ligue 1 Young Player of the Season award for the second consecutive year in his first season with the Parisians.

PSG wrapped up the treble in France in 2020 with Mbappe playing a key role for the Parisians as they dominated all teams to show their superiority.
