In a stunning display of footballing brilliance, Kylian Mbappé has scored his 36th goal of the season for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Sunday evening, securing a 5-0 victory over Rennes in Ligue 1 round 28.
The French superstar's tally is yet another milestone in what has already been a sensational campaign for him, who has now netted more goals than any other player in Europe this season. With just three games left to play, he could potentially break Lionel Messi's record of 44 goals in a single campaign if he continues to perform at this level.
Despite the impressive statistics, it was PSG's defence that was the hero on the night as they kept their opponents scoreless throughout the match. The team has now conceded only six goals in their last nine matches, and their defensive solidity will be crucial as they look to secure a top-four finish in the league.
The win also means that PSG have clinched a place in next year's Champions League, with just one game remaining in the group stage. They sit two points behind leaders Lyon, but with a game in hand, they can still qualify for the knockout stages by finishing higher in the table.
For Mbappé, it is the latest in a long line of individual achievements which have seen him become one of the most exciting young players in world football. His hat-trick against Nice earlier in the month was a reminder of his incredible talent, and his recent form suggests that there is no reason why he cannot continue to produce at this level for many years to come.
Overall, it has been an incredible season for Mbappé and PSG, and they will hope to build on their current form going into the final few weeks of the season. As they aim to secure a top-four finish, they will need to remain focused and disciplined, and they will undoubtedly face some tough opposition in the coming weeks. But with their talented squad and experienced leadership, they should be able to navigate through the challenges ahead and secure a successful conclusion to their campaign.
