Kylian Mbappe is one of the most talented footballers in the world right now. Despite being only 22, Mbappe looks set to inherit the best player in the world title from the likes of Messi and Ronaldo as the two exit the scene. The French forward has already scored six goals in this season’s Champions League knock-out stage. His performances have made his team, PSG, a favorite among punters on betting platforms, to win this year’s competition.

Mbappe has scored 27 goals in the five seasons he has played in the Champions League. The Frenchman also has 15 assists to his name in the 43 matches he has played in the Champions League. 

Here are his greatest hits:

Mbappe’s Debut Goal – Monaco

In his debut Champions League season while playing for Monaco, Mbappe introduced himself to football fans with a stunner against Manchester City. Even though his team lost 5-3, his goal catapulted him to worldwide renown. He continued endearing himself to global football fans by scoring in the second leg and three goals in the two quarter-final matches against Borussia Dortmund. He would later score in the Semis against Juventus and went on to become the most sought youngster in the game.

Hat Trick against Club Brugge – PSG

Mbappe was the first player to score in all of his first four Champions League knock-out games. However, his move to PSG seemed to have slowed down his goal-scoring at the Champions League until the 2020-21 season. The French star has netted 14 goals in 22 group stage matches for PSG. In October 2019, he was furious for being left out of the starting eleven against Club Brugge. When Thomas Tuchel brought him in as a substitute, he scored a hat trick becoming the first sub in over ten years to do that.

Hat-Trick at Nou Camp

Mbappe was a hero at the Nou Camp as PSG strived to prove they are a force to reckon with in Europe. He did not disappoint in the first leg of the Round of 16 encounter with Barcelona, where he scored a hat-trick. Commenting about his performance, the youngster claimed he was impressed and was working hard to give a good account of himself in the PSG jersey.

Double at Bayern Munich

Mbappe also scored in the return leg against Barcelona. He then continued with his excellent goal-scoring form by hitting two goals against Bayern Munich in a dramatic 3-2 win in the first leg of the quarter-finals. After the game, Mbappe claimed that he enjoyed playing well at the highest levels. He also revealed that their new manager, Pochettino, had guided them well on overcoming the German Champions.

Better Than Ronaldo and Messi?

Compared to Messi and Ronaldo, Mbappe seems to be doing better at his age than the duo were. When Messi was 22, he only had 18 Champions League goals while Cristiano Ronaldo had only three. If Mbappe keeps up his goal-scoring form, he could soon follow in the footsteps of the golden duo by winning the Champions League this season.
