Mbappé at least managed to reinforce his leadership in the artillery: he scored 23 goals, now two more than the second, the Canadian of Lille Jonathan David.
The end of the season is getting long for Paris Saint-Germain, which alternates good games with very disappointing ones, especially since the elimination in March in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Bayern Munich.
