for the shock at the top of Ligue 1, Kylian Mbappé already has the opportunity to open his 2023 goal counter. In the meantime, the PSG and France team striker can savor his 2022 exercise. Since his penalty from the victory against Strasbourg last Wednesday (2-1), the last matches of the various European championships have not changed anything. With 56 goals in as many matches in all competitions, the Parisian n°7, 24, is quite simply the best continental scorer of 2022! A first in his career. “Congratulations Kylian”, slipped him the PSG on social networks. In detail, Mbappe scored 44 goals with Paris (32 in Ligue 1, 9 in the Champions League, 3 in the Coupe de France) and 12 in the jersey of the France team (including eight in Qatar and the hat-trick in the final of the World Cup). That is 5 more than in 2021. If his average is clear, the Habs remained silent for twenty games. To compensate, he scored 5 hat-tricks and 10 doubles. The native of Bondy is ahead of the two serial scorers Erling Haaland (46 goals in 43 games with Dortmund, Manchester City and Norway) and Robert Lewandowski (42 goals in 51 games with Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Poland). Despite his exceptional season, Mbappé does not even enter the top 10 of the best scorers over a calendar year. A ranking dominated by his teammate Lionel Messi, author of the almost unimaginable total of 91 goals in 2012. In the league, Mbappé did better than his 31 goals in 2019. But he remains below Edinson Cavani (36 goals in 2017) and Carlos Bianchi (35 goals in 1978). All competitions combined with PSG, he exceeds his 2021 total, but without joining Cavani and his 50 goals in 2017. The Uruguayan is definitely the target. The South American scored 200 goals for Paris (including 138 in L 1). And Mbappé points to 191 goals (including 132 in L 1) in 238 games with Paris. Suffice to say that at this hellish pace, he should not be long in breaking new records under his crampons. "Being the top scorer in the history of PSG, you can't spit on it, explained last February the prodigy with 254 career goals when we were looking for the arguments that could well make him stay in France instead of give in to the sirens of Real Madrid. I always made sure to be number one so you have to keep trying to get it. But it's not obsessive either. The obsession is still the titles. “With a constant progression of our number 7 (44 goals in 2019, 29 goals in 2020, 49 goals in 2021, 56 goals in 2022), summarizes the PSG on its website, the year 2023 promises to be sparkling. »
