VIDEO: With this goal, Mbappé became PSG’s new record holder and sent Cavani into the history books

Until Saturday night, the “PSG top scorer” was striker Edinson Cavani, whose goal tally was stuck at 200. Kylian Mbappé, however, scored his 201st goal for the Parisian side with his goal in the Nantes net.

The match was fully in the home team’s hands from the start, with Lionel Messi scoring in the 12th minute. 5 minutes later, Jaouen Hadjam got the ball into the net, unfortunately for Nantes into his own net. It looked like another fabulous evening.

But before half-time, the away side managed to draw level at 2-2. PSG were forced to fire up their engines again, which they did, and in the 60th minute Danilo Pereira gave the lead back to his team. However, one big moment was still to come.

Namely, the 91st minute, in which Mbappé scored his 201st goal in a PSG jersey, making him the club’s all-time top scorer. At just 24 years of age, it should be added.

PSG has now increased its lead over second-placed Marseille to 11 points, but the chasers of Mbappé and co. will face Rennes, who are in fifth place, today.

The most expensive French footballer of all time is also the top scorer in Ligue 1 with 18 goals, but he is greatly helped by the duo of Messi and Neymar, who together have scored 23 assists this season.

The game against Nantes was certainly important for PSG, but now they will travel to Munich to face Bayern, who they lost 0-1 to in their opening game. In addition, they will have to do without Neymar, which is undoubtedly a significant loss for the Parisian team.

Thus, it is generally not expected that they will go over the Bavarian team in the Champions League, it looks like another unsuccessful season as they still fail to dominate the millionaire competition. The closest they came to doing so was in 2020, when they fell just short to Bayern in the final.

Back then they were brought to their knees by their former player Kingsley Coman with a single goal. Yes, the same player who scored now at Parc Princes.
