Kylian Mbappe tops Ligue 1 goalscorer list. The superstar from Paris Saint-Germain is not only a top scorer, but also at the top when it comes to assists. A record beckons. But his teammate Lionel Messi is also lurking for the record.

–

Kylian Mbappe has been France’s top scorer for the past three years. The chances of defending the title are good. After 31 match days, he leads the rankings with 20 goals ahead of Martin Terrier (18 goals) from Stade Rennes.

Should Mbappe become the top scorer again, he would rise to an elite circle. So far, only two players in Ligue 1 history have had four cannons: Carlos Bianchi and Jean Pierre Papin.

With seven games left, Mbappe not only beckons the top scorer, with 14 assists he is also the best assist in the league. He is chasing his teammate Angel di Maria’s record (18 assists in the 2015/2016 season).

Lionel Messi just behind Kylian Mbappe

Close on Mbappe’s heels is a teammate of all people: Lionel Messi. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is coping better after a poor start following his move to Paris Saint-Germain and has already racked up 13 assists.

Should Mbappe prevail in both categories, he would set a new record: never before has a player in Ligue 1 managed to top the goals and assists rankings at the same time at the end of the season.
