Paris St-Germain 4-2 Nantes: Kylian Mbappe scores club-record goal as Ligue 1 leaders win

Kylian Mbappe scored a club-record 201st goal for Paris Saint-Germain in an entertaining 4-2 win over Nantes.

He had to wait until the 92nd minute but was clinical as he turned to finish left-footed and overtake Edinson Cavani at the top of the PSG goalscoring list.

The France forward, who turns 24 in December, has established himself as a footballing superstar.

He has played in two World Cup finals, won the trophy in 2018 and received the Golden Boot as top scorer in 2022.

Mbappe, who also won the 2021 Nations League with his country, scored a hat-trick in December’s World Cup final against Argentina, which France lost on penalties after a 3-3 draw.

Since joining PSG from Monaco in 2017 for a world-record fee for a teenager, Mbappe has won four Ligue 1 titles and topped the division’s scoring charts for each of the past four seasons.

This season, the forward has now scored 30 goals and provided eight assists – taking his total for the club to 85 in 247 games.

PSG raced into a 2-0 lead at Parc des Princes and Lionel Messi opened the scoring before Javin Hadjam’s own goal.

However, Nantes were back on level terms before half-time thanks to goals from Ludovic Blas and Ignatius Ganago, with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma caught out in the first place and a scramble that led to the second goal.

Mbappe crossed for Danilo Pereira to put the home side ahead on the hour mark before his crowning moment came late in the game.
