Fans chanted the young footballer’s name amid fireworks, and he was later presented with a trophy marking the achievement
Kylian Mbappe became Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time leading scorer when he netted in added time of the 4-2 win over Nantes in the French league on Saturday.
Producing the sixth and last goal of the match gave Mbappe his 201st goal for PSG and eclipsed Edinson Cavani’s record.
The third consecutive win moved PSG 11 points clear at the top of the standings, but it was marred by the replacement of Marquinhos late in the match.
Marquinhos was substituted with 15 minutes left, clutching his back in pain at the Parc des Princes. He’s a doubt for when PSG travels to Bayern Munich on Wednesday for the second leg of their Champions League round-of-16 tie. Bayern leads 1-0 from the first leg.
“I was still a young player when I arrived here. I’ve learned a lot here,” Mbappe said after his 247th game with PSG. “I play to write history, and I always said that I want to do it here, in France, in its capital city. . . . It’s a personal achievement, but I also came here for collective achievements.”
