Mbappe becomes PSG’s all-time top scorer

PARIS: Kylian Mbappe became Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time top scorer when he scored his record 201st goal for the club in an entertaining 4-2 win over Nantes in Ligue 1, here.

The 24-year-old celebrated his landmark feat in ecstatic fashion and was handed a trophy by the club after the game in an on-field presentation on Saturday.

Mbappe got his 201st goal in 247 games since signing for PSG from AS Monaco in August 2017 as he overtook the capital side’s previous record marksman, Edinson Cavani.

“I never put pressure on myself. I knew I was going to beat the record. Just playing here is a privilege. I have progressed a lot as a player, and changed a lot. I was a young player, talented maybe but still young, and I have learned a lot of things here, as a man too,” an elated Mbappe told French TV channel Canal Plus after becoming the club’s all-time top scorer.
