Kylian Mbappe has put himself in the history books of the UEFA Champions League, by becoming the youngest player to score 40 goals in the competition’s history.
The 23-year-old scored one as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Juventus 2-1 at the Allianz Stadium, to take his tally to 7 goals in the competition this season.
Mbappe’s solo effort was his 40th strike in the Champions League, and he is now the youngest player to reach that mark at 23 years and 316 days, beating the record Lionel Messi set when he was 24 years and 130 days old.
Mbappe had earlier broken the record of the youngest player to score 15, 20, 25 and 30 Champions League goals, overtaking Messi each time.
The 2018 World Cup winner has also surpassed legends such as Raul Gonzalez (25 years 258 days), Karim Benzema (26 years 307 days) and Cristiano Ronaldo (27 years 241 days).
However, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has since reached those milestones quicker than Mbappe and is currently just nine goals behind his haul of 40 with 19 months in hand on him.
