Kylian Mbappe has become the youngest French footballer to hit the 40-goal milestone in Champions League football.
The Paris Saint-Germain superstar netted a wonderful solo goal in the 13th minute of his side’s clash at Juventus on Wednesday night. Aged 23 years and 10 months, he became the youngest Frenchman in the history of the competition to notch up his 40 th goal in the competition.
Indeed, only two other French footballers have ever surpassed that figure. Thierry Henry – the previous youngest player to reach the landmark – scored 50 Champions League goals throughout his career, with Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema well out in front on 86 goals.
