Olympique Lyon were looking forward to their match against PSG in the French Cup on Wednesday. Ninety minutes separated them from the final, but they came up against a monster named Kylian Mbappé.
Spectators were in for a treat as the Frenchman scored three goals to give the Parisians a spot in the Cup final.
Mbappé, who went through a difficult period from mid-January to early February, has regained his voracity in recent weeks and the Olympique de Lyon suffered the price.
The number 7 has scored a total of eight goals and three assists in the last six matches in all competitions. And it has now served him to reach a personal record...
After his last hat-trick, the Frenchman reached 30 goals for Paris Saint-Germain this season after only 32 appearances.
A fact that reflects the tremendous goalscoring ability of a player who has reached that thirty-goal mark for the second consecutive season after three seasons in the French capital.
His first season in Paris, 2017-18, was the only one in which Mbappé fell short of the goalscoring charts, finishing with only 21 goals.
That was a figure that did not satisfy a French star who had exploded with Monaco in the previous campaign after scoring 26 goals in 44 matches.
Last season, in 2018-19, Mbappé achieved his best record yet, scoring 39 goals in 43 games.
Now, with a third of the campaign ahead of him, Kylian has a chance to break his personal record and continue to build on his outstanding career... At only 21.
