KYLIAN Mbappe scored a club-record 201st goal for Paris St-Germain in an entertaini­ng 4-2 win over Nantes.

He had to wait until the 92nd minute but was clinical as he turned to finish left-footed and go clear of Edinson Cavani at the top of the PSG goal list.

The France forward, who turned 24 in December, has establishe­d himself as a footballin­g superstar.

“I play to make history,” said Mbappe, who joined in 2017 initially on loan from Monaco before a 180m euros move.

The Frenchman has played at two World Cup finals, winning the trophy in 2018 and earning the Golden Boot as top
