Kylian Mbappe equalled a Ligue 1 record when he scored just eight seconds into Paris Saint-Germain’s clash with Lille on Sunday.
The France international lifted a fine effort over Leo Jardim after racing beyond a static Lille defence to meet Lionel Messi’s sumptuous ball over the top almost immediately from kick-off.
Ligue 1 announced it matched Michel Rio’s eight-second strike for Caen against Cannes in 1992.
It also marked the 23-year-old Mbappe’s 200th goal at club level, with 27 coming for Monaco and 173 for PSG.
Mbappe, who scored 39 goals in all competitions last season, opened his account for the 2022-23 campaign last weekend in a 5-2 win over Montpellier.
