Kylian Mbappe found the net in the 31st minute after missing a penalty in the sixth minute as the Frenchman has scored 20 league goals now and becomes the second player in Top 5 leagues to reach the 20-goal mark in their respective (the first being Englishman Harry Kane of Bayern Munich in Bundesliga, where he has scored 23 goals so far).

 

Kylian Mbapp'e Incredible 2023/24 Season!

Even though Harry Kane is the leading run scorer in top 5 leagues with 23 goals, it is a certain Kylian Mbappe who is the leading run scorer in all competitions this season as the PSG forward has scored 29 goals this season. The breakdown of goals and assists this season is as follows:

• Ligue 1: 20 goals and 4 assists in 19 matches
• Coupe De France: 5 goals in 2 matches
• UEFA Champions League: 3 goals in 6 matches
• Trophee Des Champions: 1 goal in the match

The Frenchman is also amongst the top 10 goalscorers in the Ligue 1 history as he is currently on 9th and few more goals will let him take over the 8th rank, as the Frenchman, ever since his transfer from fellow Ligue 1 side AS Monaco in 2017, his lowest goalscoring season was his debut season with the Parisiens as he managed only 21 goals in all competitions this season. 

Since then, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has scored minimum 30 goals in all competitions in every season ever since and now stands as a living legend of the game.
