Incredible run and goal from Mbappé: he ran 36 metres in 5 seconds

In the buildup to the game, much was made of Neymar's potential return from injury. However, the Brazilian did not start the game and it was instead Mbappé who put the team on his back following two straight league defeats. After Lille slipped up by drawing with Toulouse on Sunday, PSG were crowned as champions before their game against Monaco even started.

Mbappé, nevertheless, always wants more. And 14 minutes into the clash against Monaco, he put the Parisian side ahead in their coronation as champions.

After Monaco pushed forward looking for the opener, Tuchel's side quickly launched a counter-attack. Mbappé spread the ball out wide to Diaby, and from there he started his lung-busting sprint upfield.

Mbappé took around 5 seconds to run half the length of the pitch, before receiving a return pass from Diaby and slotting the ball past substitute goalkeeper Diego Benaglio.

Looking at the measurements of the Parc de Princes (each half being 52.5 metres long), Mbappé covered 36 metres of Monaco's half, and a further 16.5 as he started at the edge of his own box - numbers worthy of the great athletes.
