Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick to help Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secure a 5-0 victory over Lille in the French Ligue 1 match on Saturday. The forward's impressive performance earned him his second consecutive Golden Boot award, making it three in four seasons for the French international.
Mbappe, who has been in sensational form this season, was unstoppable against Lille. He opened the scoring just five minutes into the game and doubled PSG's lead within two minutes after receiving a pass from Neymar. The French star then completed his hat-trick in the first half when he found the back of the net again, this time assisted by Angel Di Maria.
The win saw PSG extend their lead at the top of the table to seven points, leaving them in absolute control of the league title race. It was also a historic moment for Mbappe, who now has 25 goals in all competitions this season, becoming only the third player to score 25 or more goals in a single season in French football history.
Despite the hat-trick, Mbappe did not receive any praise from his teammates. Instead, he was booed by some sections of the crowd during the post-match press conference. However, Mbappe remained focused on the task at hand and vowed to continue playing at his best level.
"I'm happy to be here and I want to keep improving," said Mbappe. "I'm still young, there is still so much to learn. But I'm determined to do my best every day."
The victory was a perfect way for PSG to conclude their campaign, securing their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title and cementing their place as one of the world's leading clubs. With Mbappe continuing to perform at such high levels, it is clear that the future looks bright for PSG and their fans.
