He insistently searched, until the end, for the goal that would take him a little further into the history of Paris Saint Germain and finally Kylian Mbappé became the club's top scorer by signing, in the match against Nantes, the 201st goal of his career . At 24, the Parisian exceeds the record held by the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani.
Mbappé scored his eighteenth goal in Ligue 1, where he is top scorer, in the 91st minute. He took advantage of Timothee Pembele's cross from the right to expose his marker and put the ball into the net.
It was the fourth goal for his team. The one who sealed the victory against Nantes 4-2 to accentuate the leadership in the French competition of the reigning champion, now eleven points ahead of Marseille, the second in the standings.
"It's a privilege to play for Paris Saint Germain. For me it's very special because this is my city. I was born here," the Parisian footballer said after the match. "When I arrived I was a young player. I learned a lot of things here. Playing for PSG, as a Parisian, is something special," insisted the top scorer in the history of Paris Saint Germain.
Regarding the persistent rumors about his future, almost always linked to a possible signing for Real Madrid, Bondy's man assured that "for the moment" he only thinks "of making PSG happy". "If I linked my future to the Champions League, and I don't want to disrespect the club, I would have gone a long way!" insisted Mbappé, who was "confident" and "convinced" to come back from the round of 16 tie against Bayern in the return in Munich and thus continue dreaming of winning the first 'orejona' of the Parisian club.
"I'm here to make history. In France, in my country, in my city. It's beautiful to achieve individual successes and be recognized but I also want collective achievements. There's still a lot to do," added Mbappé, who wore the captain's armband on the stage final, after his teammate Marquinhos withdrew from the field of play. "If someone had told me that I was going to score this goal with the captain's armband, I would never have believed it," concluded the PSG star.
