Kylian Mbappé scored his 47th and 48th goals in the Champions League yesterday. A double which allows him to equal Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Andriy Shevchenko.
The Parisian will have the opportunity to surpass this mark in the semi-final against Dortmund in early May. A certain Thierry Henry, author of 50 goals with Monaco, Arsenal, and Barcelona between 1997 and 2009, is still the top scorer in the competition. The Frenchman has eight goals in European competition, equaling his record in a single edition of the tournament. He reached this symbolic threshold, seven years after scoring his first goal in C1. At 25, the PSG native reached this threshold, six years after he scored his first. The following season, he scored six times, then seven times last season. He will then be able to go for the eighth top scorer, with Thomas Müller's 54 goals and Ruud Van Gaal's 54. The French striker has scored 48 units in 71 matches for Paris Saint-Germain.
