Without an assist since Ligue 1 Uber Eats' Round 31, Kylian Mbappé (PSG) got back to business in the 3-3 draw with Strasbourg, teeing up Achraf Hakimi in between his own two goals to stretch his lead atop the assists chart.
Kylian Mbappé is breaking away. While he had seen some of his competitors - like Rennes' Benjamin Bourigeaud (third with 12 assists) - draw nearer over the last few rounds, the boy from Bondy stepped on the gas again in the Round 35 clash at the Stade de la Meinau on Friday.
By picking out Achraf Hakimi in the box after a beautiful ball into the box from Neymar, the current Ligue 1 Uber Eats top scorer (24 goals) delivered his 15th assist of the season. The Paris Saint-Germain star is now only one unit away from reaching the symbolic mark of 50 top-flight assists in the elite and is two assists ahead of teammate Lionel Messi (13 assists) on the official assists chart.
'Yedderland' scoring like clockwork
Neymar's assist for Mbappé was the Brazilian's sixth of the season, which moved him up to 15th on the assists chart. Slightly higher up the table, we find Monaco's Kevin Volland (11th), who conjured the perfect ball for partner in crime Wissam Ben Yedder to smash in to the back of the net as Monaco trumped Angers to press their claim for a podium finish.
It was the German's seventh assist of the season and the fifth to be converted by Ben Yedder, the league's third-top scorer (21 goals). The 'Yedderland' duo seems to be growing in power with each round, but PSG's Lionel Messi - who has teed Kylian Mbappé up to score six times this season - is in the lead in terms of assists converted by a single teammate.
