This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) beat Club Brugge by 4-1, in the last round of the Champions League group stage. In addition to the victory, forward Mbappé has a personal reason to celebrate. Scorer of two goals, the Frenchman became the youngest player in history to achieve 30 goals in the Champions League.
Voted best player on the field, Mbappé broke the record of his teammate Lionel Messi. The Argentine reached the 30th goal in the competition at 23 years and 131 days old, while the Frenchman repeated and surpassed the feat at 22 years and 352 days.

In a gala performance, Mbappé scored his two goals in the first seven minutes of the game and assisted Messi’s first, the team’s third. The Argentine also made two, closing the account for PSG.
“We wanted to warm up the crowd and that’s what we did. We can improve, but today we did our job. I think there is a need to adapt for new players. Let’s work to be ready when the knockout comes. We will need Messi in the matches that really matter. It will help when he is more integrated into the team”, explained the forward.
With the victory by 4-1, the situation of Paris Saint-Germain did not change, as the team was already guaranteed in the second position of Group A, behind Manchester City. PSG returns to the field next Sunday to face Monaco, in the French Championship, at 16:45 (GMT), at Parque dos Príncipes.
