Mbappé Breaks Records, Leads PSG to Victory Over LyonMbappé Breaks Records, Leads PSG to Victory Over Lyon Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé shattered records and inspired his team to a commanding 4-1 victory over Lyon in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Mbappé opened the scoring just 10 minutes into the match, becoming the youngest player to reach 50 goals in the French top flight since Michel Platini in 1978. The 23-year-old forward then netted a stunning second goal in the 68th minute, breaking his own record for the most goals scored in a single Ligue 1 season (33). Neymar joined the goal-scoring party in the 81st minute, before Mbappé completed his hat-trick just two minutes later to seal the emphatic win. The victory extends PSG’s lead at the top of the table to 13 points. Mbappé’s performance was hailed by his manager, Christophe Galtier, who described him as “an exceptional talent.” “He’s a player who makes the difference, and he did it again today,” Galtier said. “He’s breaking records, and he’s helping us win matches.” Mbappé’s hat-trick also marked his 203rd goal for PSG, moving him ahead of legendary forward Edinson Cavani as the club’s all-time leading scorer. Lyon, who had briefly equalized through Alexandre Lacazette in the 40th minute, were outplayed for much of the match. Manager Laurent Blanc admitted that his team had been second best on the day. “We were up against a great team with exceptional players,” Blanc said. “We tried our best, but it wasn’t enough.” PSG’s victory cements their grip on the Ligue 1 title race and keeps them on course for a record-extending 11th championship. Mbappé’s continued brilliance will be crucial to their success in the months ahead.
