On Sunday Kylian Mbappé became the youngest-ever player to score 100 goals in any of Europe's top five leagues, eclipsing some of the greats. But that's not the only list the French prodigy towers over - here's a deep dive into his phenomenal standing!

And 100 for Kylian Mbappé! The France striker's brace in PSG's 4-2 win in Lyon brought up a century of top-flight strikes, continuing the world-beating form he has shown since his debut. With 100 league goals at just 22 years of age, where does he stand in the history of Ligue 1 Uber Eats and in comparison to some of Europe's best?

... and in Europe

In the 21st century, PSG's number 7 is the youngest player in any of Europe's top five leagues to reach 100 league goals. His nearest rival? A certain Lionel Messi, who needed an extra year to reach this mark.

This season he overtook his ex-teammate and PSG's all-time top scorer, Edinson Cavani. And he would also have been fastest in the capital club's history to do so had it not been for a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who took 27 fewer games to achieve the feat.
