Setting a new milestone, Kylian Mbappe, the talented forward of Paris Saint-Germain, has recently equaled the UEFA Champions League goalscoring record previously held by the iconic Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a former player of the same club.
In a thrilling quarter-final showdown against Barcelona, Mbappe showcased his brilliance by scoring a remarkable brace.
During the match, the French captain successfully converted a penalty in the 61st minute. Later, he secured his second goal in the 89th minute, capitalizing on an error made by Jules Kounde. This exceptional performance helped PSG secure a 6-4 aggregate victory at the end of the game.
With these goals, the 25-year-old has now amassed a total of 48 goals in 71 appearances in the prestigious Champions League, matching Ibrahimovic’s impressive record of 48 goals in 124 games.
Mbappe will soon have another chance to surpass Ibrahimovic’s record as PSG gears up to face Borussia Dortmund in the upcoming semi-final clash.
