Mbappé tries to be the top scorer in the history of PSG

That Kylian Mbappé will dethrone Edinson Cavani as the top scorer in the history of Paris Saint-Germain is proof of that. You just have to know when. Two goals are enough for the Frenchman to overcome the Uruguayan who left the French capital with 200 screams.

The player aspires to that record at just 24 years of age, nine less than the Uruguayan had when he set him at that barrier exactly three years ago.

Cavani was PSG’s top scorer as in 2017 he surpassed the 156 goals scored by Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who in turn surpassed the goal set by Portugal’s Pedro Pauleta, with 109 in 2008.

But the speed with which Mbappé manages to reach the record is surprising.

The French striker is two goals behind Cavani with 56 games fewer than the Uruguayan and still has at least another two years of contract with the French club ahead of him, which could raise the record to stratospheric figures.

Mbappé has already been PSG’s top scorer in the Champions League since last October, when he scored his 31st goal in a group stage match against Benfica, thus ousting Cavani from that record.

Since then, the French striker has added three more goals in Europe’s top competition, to which he adds 134 in the French league, 27 in the French Cup, two in the League Cup and one more in the French Super Cup.

For PSG, the young French star has scored 20 times from penalties, 151 with his right foot, 42 with his left foot and five with headers, and is yet to make his free-kick debut.

To the goals scored for PSG, Mbappé adds the 27 scored in the two seasons in which he was in Monaco’s first team, with whom he played 60 games.

He is also the sixth top scorer of the French team, with whom he has scored 36 goals in 66 games.

In the last World Cup, in which he finished top scorer in the competition with 8 goals, he surpassed Youri Djorkaeff (28), Jean-Pierre Papin (30), Just Fontaine (30), Zinedine Zidane (31) and David Trezeguet (3.4 ).

Mbappé also finished top scorer with his team in time. One goal separates him from Karim Benzema, who has already put an end to his international scene.

Up front there would be only Michel Platini (41), Antoine Griezmann (42), Thierry Henry (51) and Oliver Giroud, who in Qatar placed the French team’s top scorer barrier at 53 goals.
