Kylian Mbappe has “fired” 38 times in the 2023/24 season, thereby reaching the milestone of 250 goals in the PSG shirt in all competitions. This season is almost a third of the way. Therefore, the French international can completely break his own record of 42 goals in the 2020/21 season.
The hat-trick against Montpellier in PSG’s 6-2 victory in round 26 of Ligue 1 helped striker Kylian Mbappe reach the milestone of 250 goals for the French capital team in all competitions, including 172 goals in Ligue 1, 34 goals in the French National Cup, 40 goals in the Champions League and 4 goals in other competitions. That achievement helps him continue to dominate the list of the greatest strikers at Parc des Princes.
According to statistics, Mbappe has reached 250 goals after 297 matches for PSG. He is 50 goals ahead of the person ranked 2nd in the list of greatest strikers at Parc des Princes, Edinson Cavani, and 94 goals more than the person ranked 3rd (Zlatan Ibrahimovic). Mbappe’s greatness in Paris is clearly undeniable.
Mbappe reached the 250 goal mark faster than Lionel Messi
Let’s make a comparison to clearly see Mbappe’s stature on the world football map. Superstar Lionel Messi needed 327 matches to score 250 goals for Barca. It took senior Karim Benzema 517 matches to achieve the same number with Real Madrid. As for former striker Wayne Rooney, the number of matches he played for MU to reach the 250 goal mark was 546.
Mbappe’s goals are mainly made in the opponent’s penalty area, specifically 229 goals, including 30 penalties. He only scored a goal 21 times from long shots outside the penalty area. Although he is a world-class striker, Mbappe has a weakness that needs to be improved: his heading ability. To date, he has only scored 6 goals with his head, the remaining are 49 goals scored with his left foot and 194 goals scored with his right foot.
Mbappe is the greatest striker in PSG history
Mbappe often enters the game quite slowly. That’s why he didn’t score many goals in the first half, and only really exploded after halftime. According to statistics, of Mbappe’s 250 goals up to now, 143 were scored in the second half. In particular, the French international was especially effective in the last 15 minutes of the match with 58 “fires”, continuing. coming is the time frame from minute 61 to 75 with 45 goals.
There is an interesting detail: With a hat-trick against Montpellier on March 18, Mbappe turned this team into his favorite “prey” in his career. Specifically, PSG’s number 1 striker has hit Montpellier’s net a total of 13 times. Ranked equally in 2nd place on this list are Lyon and Dijon – the two teams were both scored by the French player a total of 12 times. Then there are Monaco and Lille, both of which Mbappe scored 11 times.
Mbappe is about to break his personal record for goals in a season
Mbappe’s ability to fight independently is very high, so in many matches, he has “done everything, won everything”. However, the French striker still has extremely compatible partners on the field. Neymar is the leader in the list of assists for Mbappe to score the most goals with 26 “set-ups”. Next is Angel Di Maria with 24 times feeding the ball for the French international to score. In particular, although he did not have much time playing at Parc des Princes, Lionel Messi still managed to become Mbappe’s third best partner with 20 assists.
There is no doubt that Mbappe is great at Parc des Princes. Not being able to retain this star in the summer of 2024 is a huge regret for the French capital team. According to some sources, the 25-year-old striker has decided to leave PSG on a free transfer after the 2023/24 season ends. According to the plan, he will announce the specific destination before joining the French team to attend the EURO 2024 finals . But perhaps there is no need to wait, everyone knows that almost certainly 10 Mbappe will join Real Madrid.
