In Monaco and especially Paris, Kylian Mbappé will have left an unprecedented mark on Ligue 1, which he is officially leaving for La Liga.
Kylian Mbappé has been the championship’s top scorer for the last six years, succeeding the two crowns of his former teammate Edinson Cavani. It’s a record for the new Real Madrid player, ahead of the five titles of Carlos Bianchi, Delio Onnis and Jean-Pierre Papin. He is also the seventh top scorer in the history of Ligue 1 with 191 goals, behind Delio Onnis (299), Bernard Lacombe (255), Hervé Revelli (216), Roger Courtois (210), Thadée Cisowski (206) and Roger Piantoni (203). Of course, nothing stops him from coming back one day to increase his total again…
Top scorer and passer in the same season, a first
He played 246 league matches, including 205 with Paris. Since 2017 in Monaco inclusive, he has been champion of France every year except in 2021, when LOSC beat PSG. Elected best player at the UNFP trophies five times in a row, after Edinson Cavani in 2017 and Neymar in 2018 (no prize in 2020 due to Covid), he holds this record as well as that of the maximum awards in total, 19 adding his three best prospect titles and his eleven player of the month trophies. He was also named in the team of the season seven times, a record shared with his ex-partners Thiago Silva and Marco Verratti.
Kylian Mbappé is also the only player in the history of our championship to have finished both top scorer and best passer in the same season, in 2022 with 28 goals and 17 assists. We forget it, but he is also the fastest scorer, only eight seconds at the opening of the Parisian demonstration in Lille (1-7) in August 2022, tied with the Caennais Michel Rio in 1992. Well, strictly speaking level of Paris Saint-Germain, since he is the top scorer in history with 235 goals, he is logically the best scorer in Ligue 1 with a total of 175 league goals in the jersey of the capital club.
