This season, Kylian Mbappé (PSG, 28 goals) is the first player to be crowned top scorer in Ligue 1 Uber Eats for four consecutive seasons since Jean-Pierre Papin (five times between 1987-88 and 1991-92). This confirms his presence among the greatest strikers in Ligue 1 Uber Eats history, and - now that he has signed on to stay in Paris - that he could go on to dominate this discussion much as he has swept everything else before him in his stunning career.

A look back...

Seven scorers have known the joys of winning the league's top scorer title in their first season in the French championship, not counting the duo of Walter Kaiser (SRFC) and Robert Mercier (Club Français), who won the first edition in 1932-33.

The following two seasons saw neophytes claim the top scorer title: Istvan Lukacs (Sète, 33-34) and André Abbeglen (FCSM, 34-35). René Bihel (LOSC, 45-46) and Rogier Piantoni (FC Nancy, 50-51) were the only Frenchmen to do so, before Argentina's Carlos Bianchi won the first of his five trophies in 1973-74.

Another foreigner, German Erwin Kostedde (Stade Lavallois), shared the distinction with Delio Onnis in 1979-80. Finally, the last top scorer in his first season in Ligue 1 Uber Eats was Zlatan Ibrahimovic, in the 2012-13 season.

A trio on five

In the history of Ligue 1 Uber Eats, three players have managed to win the top scorer award on five occasions. The first to do so was Carlos Bianchi. The striker won five trophies in six seasons (between 1973-74 and 1978-79), ahead of his Argentinian compatriot Delio Onnis, who needed ten seasons to achieve the same number of titles (from 1974-75 to 1983-84).

Papin: The benchmark

Jean-Pierre Papin is the only striker to have won five consecutive titles. With OM, the France striker won the top scorer's trophy every season between 1988 and 1992. This trio could be joined by Kylian Mbappé (PSG) next season: the French striker has now won four consecutive trophies.

PSG overtake OM

Kylian Mbappé's fourth top scorer award of the 2021-22 season is the 13th in the history of Paris Saint-Germain, who are now ahead of OM at the top of the charts.

The Olympians have 12 top scorer titles in the French league - from Gunnar Andersson in 1952 to Mamadou Niang in 2010. The Parisians, meanwhile, have won the last seven Ligue 1 Uber Eats top scorer titles, following on from the first one in 1977-78 with Bianchi, and even nine of the last ten, through Ibrahimovic, Cavani and Mbappé.
