Kylian Mbappe scored a stunning second-half hat-trick during Paris Saint-Germain's 5-0 victory over Club Brugge on Tuesday.
PSG star Kylian Mbappe became the youngest player to score 15 goals in Champions League aged 20 years, 306 days, breaking Lionel Messi’s record, who was 21 years, 288 days.
The 20-year-old French forward, who struggled with hamstring and thigh issues this season, came off the bench in Tuesday's Champions League clash in the 52nd minute and scored 3 times in the space of 22 minutes for Thomas Tuchel’s men against their Belgian opponents.
Mauro Icardi netted the opening goal in the 7th minute before PSG sensation Mbappe doubled the lead within nine minutes of his second-half introduction. The Frenchman also assisted Icardi's second strike of the match to make it 3-0, before adding two more goals himself.
