"

My story here is not over, I still have beautiful chapters to write in Paris

", said Kylian Mbappé during his contract extension.

He branded history with a hot iron week after week, breaking record after record.

Last Sunday in Marseille (3-0 victory), he rose to the height of Edinson Cavani and his 200 goals, a record at PSG.

Top scorer in the history of PSG?

You can't spit on it

“, smiled the crack of Bondy last spring.

A goal, and it will be done, for the one who has already erased Dominique Rocheteau (100 goals), Pedro Miguel Pauleta (109) and another Zlatan Ibrahimovic (156), the previous record holders, before the "Matador", in 2020. Note that in the meantime, Neymar (118 goals) has come between “Ibra” and Pauleta, at the foot of the podium.

Still, "KM" will try to make Parisian history this Saturday (9 p.m.), against Antoine Kombouaré's FC Nantes, during the 26th day of Ligue 1. And this even if he probably dreams more of score the winning goal in Munich next Wednesday, against Bayern, in the knockout stages of the Champions League… Greedy, we imagine that he would have nothing against the idea of ​​​​doing both, he who never ends to surprise, to amaze.

In Paris or with the jersey of the France team, the ex-Monegasque is advancing on bases never seen before.

He can snag many records in the future.

Which ?

AT PSG

As we have said, Mbappé has equaled Cavani in the ranking of the club's top scorers (200), he who is already the top Parisian scorer in the European Cup (34) and all competitions combined on the road (105), the one who has scored the most doubles (39), triplets (9), and the only one to have scored a quintuplet.

He is also the author of the fastest goal in Rouge et Bleu (8 seconds, against Lille this season).

Razzia… “KM” will quickly overtake Cavani and become the top Parisian scorer in L1 (138 against 136).

He would have to stay at least one more season to do the same in the Coupe de France and dislodge François M'Pelé (28 against 27), knowing that PSG took the door from the 8th this year.

Cavani is far ahead for the goals scored at the Parc des Princes (110 against 93).

With 435 official matches,

Jean-Marc Pilorget still has time before seeing his status as the most capped player threatened by Mbappé (246).

Marco Verratti (405) and Marquinhos (396) are there.

And the assists?

Kylian Mbappé is currently the third provider of caviars (81) on the banks of the Seine.

The house record holder, Angel Di Maria, can rest easy for a few more years (112 assists).

Safet Susic is second (103).

There is in any case a record that he would have no trouble beating but that the Parisian leaders fear above all: that of the biggest transfer in the direction of departures.

It is Gonçalo Guedes who has been the best sold so far (40 M€ in 2018).

The price of half a leg from Mbappé, the latter currently under contract until 2024, with an option for one more season.

He had been recruited for 180 M€ in 2017, the second transfer worldwide and in Paris, behind his playmate Neymar (222 M€).

Last but not least,

IN LEAGUE 1

With 152 goals, Kylian Mbappé is far from being able to tickle Delio Onnis and his 299 achievements.

As for the record of goals over a season, he will also have to whip: Josip Skoblar had scored 44 with OM, in 1970-71).

It will not be for the 2022-23 campaign, a priori.

That of Philippe Gondet, France's top scorer in L1 over a season, is well within his reach: 36 goals in 1965-66 with Nantes.

Note that Mbappé is already the only player to have finished top scorer and best passer in a season (28 goals, 17 assists), finishing only one “pass D” from the record jointly held by two former Parisians, Angel Di Maria and Jérôme Rothen (18, respectively in 2016 in Paris and 2003 in Monaco).

Two other records to his disproportion: the greatest number of days in a row with at least one goal (13, Serge Masnaghetti) and the greatest number of goals in a match (7, André Abegglen and Jean Nicolas).

IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

With his 40 goals in 60 C1 matches, at only 24 years old, Kylian Mbappé has already broken all records for precociousness.

Enough to imagine him tickling the statistics of Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi… Gone slipping away in Saudi Arabia, “CR7” shook the nets 141 times in C1, an absolute record.

The "Pulga" has its rival in the sights (129).

Only two players have scored at least once in 'Champions' in 17 consecutive seasons, Messi and Karim Benzema.

Mbappé is already at seven… The longest series of matches with at least one goal?

It's Ronaldo, 11 matches.

To catch up with the record holder in the Champions League, Francisco Gento (6), Kylian Mbappé will however quickly have to open his counter, as with regard to the Golden Ball, won by Leo Messi seven times.

And maybe eight at the end of the

IN FRANCE TEAM

Olivier Giroud had no illusions in Qatar, when he overtook Thierry Henry to settle at the top of the top scorers in the France team.

"

Don't worry, he will catch up with me soon

," slipped the Milanese, who has a total of 53 goals in 120 selections, against 51 in 123 matches for Henry.

He is not wrong: Mbappé only needed 66 capes to shake the net 36 times in Blue.

I hope he will break a lot of records.

In any case, it is intended for it

, ”added Giroud.

His will fall in a handful of years.

Hugo Lloris' selection record (145) is also within reach at the rate things are going.

With his 28 assists, Antoine Griezmann (117 caps, 42 goals), who is far from retirement age, still has a margin over the ex-Monegasque (19).

For how long ?

If he is on the bridge in 2026, Mbappé should also have no trouble becoming the top French scorer in the World Cup, he who has already scored 12 goals in two appearances, one less than the late Just Fontaine , disappeared last Wednesday at the age of 89, and who had made a raid in 1958. In fact, he is already not so far from the record for all nationalities combined, held by the German Miroslav Klose (16)!

In another register, Mbappé will have to whip to get back to the top scorer of all selections, Cristiano Ronaldo (118 with Portugal), but who knows?
