History does not yet say whether Kylian Mbappé will still be at the Parc des Princes next season but, as long as he is there and plays in the PSG jersey, he will make sure to leave a lasting mark on the history of the The Porte d’Auteuil enclosure.
This Wednesday evening, his new goal scored in the Champions League, that of the opening score against Real Sociedad in the round of 16 first leg (2-0), places him a little further in the history of football.
10 – Kylian Mbappé became the first player to score at least one goal in 10 consecutive starts at home in the history of the Champions League.

His foxy gesture at Alex Remiro's far post allowed him to set a strange record, Opta tells us: Kylian Mbappé became the first player to score at least one goal in 10 consecutive starts at home in the history of the Champions League.
This means that he has scored in the last ten matches that he has started, at the Parc, in the Champions League.
His 31st goal of the season
He has actually scored this season in receptions against Newcastle, Milan and Dortmund.
Last season, he did not score at home in the round of 16 second leg against Bayern… which he started on the bench, returning from injury.
Before that, he had put his name on the Parc scoreboard against Maccabi Haifa, Benfica, Juventus, then the previous season in the round of 16 first leg against Real, and in the group stage against Bruges, Manchester City and Leipzig.
The count is good: 10 consecutive tenures.

This is already Kylian Mbappé's 38th goal in the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain, in 58 matches played in the competition in the red and blue jersey since 2017. This season, the Bondynois is simply unstoppable, irresistible: he has just scored his 31st goal in 30 appearances in all competitions (4 in the Champions League, 20 in the league, 1 in the Champions Trophy and 6 in the Coupe de France).
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's record of 50 goals scored in a single season seems within his reach.
Generally speaking, the goal records he lacks in the Parisian jersey are starting to be rare.
