The French star who plays for Paris Saint-Germain is still surprising soccer world with his performances and amazing stats.

It's hard to believe that Kylian Mbappé is only 22 years old. Because of his talent. Because of his conviction. Beacuse of his great performance during Rusia 2018. Because of his recently and amazing hat-trick against Lionel Messi's Barcelona at UEFA Champions League.

As one of the best soccer players of the moment, the young star also haunts several records of some of the best athletes in history. His performances are not going unnoticed by anyone. With the three goals that he added last Tuesday, he surpassed the 8 that Zinedine Zidane had made at decisive instances in the European competition. Taking into account last two editions, Kylian Mbappé has scored 10 goals.

If you look at the other Frenchmen ahead of him right now, next on the list is Thierry Henry, who retired with 12. Higer in the podium is Karim Benzema with 18.

He is still very far away from Juventus' player Cristiano Ronaldo, who has already scored 67 goals in UEFA Champions League, and Leo Messi, who accumulates 48.

Kylian Mbappé also stood on the podium of the Parisian team's top scorers with 111 goals. If he renewed with PSG, his next targets would be Zlatan Ibrahimovic with 156 and Edinson Cavani with 200.
