Kylian Mbappe beats a Lionel Messi record in the Champions League
He became the youngest player to score 15 goals in the competition
Kylian Mbappé's ceiling continues to grow. The Frenchman has surpassed a record in the Champions League that Leo Messi held, so we already speak of major feats. With his hat-trick against Club Brugge (0-5), the Frenchman has become the youngest player to reach 15 goals in the top continental competition.
This statistic, which he has achieved with the first goal he scored against Brugge, allowed him to catch Messi, who reached 15 goals at 21 years and 289 days. The French star, meanwhile, has matched the Argentine's figure at just 20 years and 302 days. The PSG forward showed again that, without a doubt, he is one of the great cracks in world football.
Mbappé needed 27 Champions League games to reach 15 goals, which he has played with both his current club and Monaco. It is incredible to note that the Frenchman, although he was not a starter and barely played 38 minutes, bagged a hat-trick.
The performance of Mbappé was the highlight of the game that the Parisians played against Brugge, an affair that was easily resolved thanks, in addition, to the excellent game of Di María, who laid on three assists. With this result, the PSG are well placed as leader of Group A with three wins from three, followed by Real Madrid (4 points), Brugge (2 points) and bottom of the table Galatasaray (1 point).
