France's Mbappé continues to set new records after nets club's first five-goal haul

Kylian Mbappe, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, achieved a set of records, after his great brilliance in the sweeping victory over Pays de Castel, 7-0, in the round of 16th. Kylian Mbappe became the first Paris Saint-Germain player to score five times in one match as the Ligue 1 giants crushed sixth-tier amateur minnows Pays de Cassel 7-0 in the French Cup on Monday. After the five-a-cup against Pais de Castel, Kylian Mbappe has only 4 goals left to equal Edinson Cavani as the best scorer in the history of Paris Saint-Germain, and Cavani has 200 goals in his career with Paris Saint-Germain, while Mbappe has 196 goals. With his five goals in the 7-0 victory over Pays de Cassel in Monday's Coupe de France Round of 32 ties, Kylian Mbappé made Paris Saint-Germain history. Since the club's foundation in 1970, no player had ever scored five times in a single competitive game. It was all the more incredible as the Parisian number 7 scored his goals in fewer than 50 minutes (29', 35', 40', 56', 78')! The France international is also closing in on another record that of the club's all-time leading scorer: Edinson Cavani netted 200 in all competitions. Wearing the captain's armband for the first time, Mbappé took his total to 196 on Monday. Mbappe became the first player to score 27 goals, with one team in the French Cup, since Delio Onis with Monaco with 30 goals in 1980. Mbappe is the first player to score five goals in the round of 16 of the French Cup since former star Michel Platini with Nancy against Saint Louis in March 1975.
