Paris Saint-Germain’s star forward, Kylian Mbappe, achieved a remarkable feat on Tuesday, equaling the UEFA Champions League goalscoring record set by the club’s former striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Mbappe’s historic moment came during PSG’s quarter-final clash against Barcelona, where he showcased his prowess by netting a brace. The French captain converted a penalty in the 61st minute before capitalizing on an error by Jules Kounde to score his second goal in the 89th minute. PSG secured a 6-4 aggregate victory over Barcelona at full-time.
With these two goals, Mbappe’s tally in the Champions League now stands at 48 goals in 71 appearances, a figure that matches Ibrahimovic’s impressive record of 48 goals in 124 games for PSG.
The 25-year-old forward’s stellar performance has positioned him to potentially surpass Ibrahimovic’s record in the upcoming semi-final clash against Borussia Dortmund. Football fans eagerly anticipate Mbappe’s next move as he continues to etch his name in the annals of Champions League history.
