Kylian Mbappe could join an exclusive club TONIGHT against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League… as the PSG star offers to join Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and eight others if a certain thing happens

  • Kylian Mbappé is on the verge of achieving a feat few others have managed
  • He hopes for a beautiful swan song at PSG before leaving this summer
  • Are Sheffield United the worst team in Premier League history? Listen to It’s All Kicking Off! podcast

Kylian Mbappé will have the opportunity to join an immortal troop of footballers this evening.

Paris Saint-Germain could take a big step towards their second Champions League final when they face Borussia Dortmund in Germany at 8 p.m.

Mbappe has 43 goals and 10 assists this season and if he can inspire PSG to a treble, it will strengthen any clamor to give him a Ballon d’Or.

A triumph in Europe would mark a poignant end to his time in Paris before hopping on a bus and heading to Real Madrid this summer.

Even though all those big dreams will have to wait, there is something he can achieve tonight.

If he scores twice, he will become the 11th player in Champions League history to score 50 goals.

If he scores twice, he will become the 11th player in Champions League history to score 50 goals.

If Mbappé scores twice, he will become the 11th player to score 50 goals in the Champions League.

It would also make him the third-fastest player to reach that milestone.

Ruud van Nistelrooy did it in ’62 and Lionel Messi in ’66, and Mbappe would deserve celebratory croissants if he achieves it in ’72.

So who else has scored 50 or more times in the Champions League?

Well, Cristiano Ronaldo is breathing clean air ahead with 141, while Messi lags behind with 129.

In 2013/14, Ronaldo scored 17 times, just two goals short of being in the top 100 scorers, regardless of his other seasons.

Next up is Robert Lewandowski with 94, highlighting how dominant and consistent the two best players of this century have been.

Just behind Lewandowski is Karim Benzema with 90, Raul with 71 and Van Nistelrooy with 60.

Cristiano Ronaldo leads the Champions League goalscoring charts with 141 goals.

Mbappe could realistically surpass some players next season – Andriy Shevchenko is 59, Thomas Muller is 54 and Thierry Henry managed 51.

If Mbappé scores twice tonight, he will reach the level of Filippo Inzaghe – honorable company in a tribe of elites.

While PSG are known for collapsing on the big stage, they have stepped up this campaign.

A 4-1 win over Barcelona in April ensured a spectacular comeback – a reward of sorts for what Barca did to them in 2017 – and Mbappé was at the forefront of the revival, scoring twice.
