Kylian Mbappé of Paris Saint-Germain has been the youngest player to score 25 goals in the Champions League since Wednesday night at 22 years and 80 days. Barça superstar Lionel Messi had already held this record. The Argentine was 22 years and 286 days old when he scored 25th in the premier class.
Mbappé’s 25th goal was against Messi and Barça, of all places. In the second leg of the second leg of the round of 16, the French gave the Parisians the lead in the 31st minute with a penalty, shortly after Messi drew a dream goal to make it 1-1. As they stayed with this result, PSG are in the quarter-finals thanks to a 4-1 win in the first leg. At that time, Mbappé had scored three goals at the Camp Nou.
Mbappé needed 42 appearances for his 25 goals in the Champions League. The world champion scored his first Champions League goal in the first leg of the 2016/17 season first leg with AS Monaco in a 5-3 loss to Manchester City.
Messi scored his 25th goal in the CL in April 2010 in a 4-1 victory in the quarter-final second leg against Arsenal. In total, the 33-year-old Argentine has 120 goals in the premier category.
