Unstoppable Mbappé Scores Hat-Trick in PSG’s 5-1 DemolitionUnstoppable Mbappé Scores Hat-Trick in PSG’s 5-1 Demolition Paris, March 11 (AFP) – Kylian Mbappé continued his scintillating form with a stunning hat-trick as Paris Saint-Germain crushed Montpellier 5-1 in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Mbappé opened the scoring after just four minutes, latching onto a through ball from Lionel Messi and firing past Jonas Omlin. The Frenchman then doubled PSG’s lead in the 27th minute, pouncing on a rebound after Messi’s shot had been saved. Montpellier briefly threatened to stage a comeback when Arnaud Souquet pulled one back just two minutes later. However, Mbappé completed his hat-trick in the 63rd minute, heading home from a Neymar cross. Neymar himself got on the scoresheet two minutes later, tapping in from close range after Mbappe’s initial shot had been saved. Carlos Soler completed the scoring for PSG with a deflected strike in the 75th minute. The victory extends PSG’s lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table to six points, with their nearest rivals Marseille having lost to Strasbourg earlier in the day. Mbappé’s performance was the highlight of the match, with the Frenchman now having scored 11 goals in his last eight games for PSG. The 24-year-old is widely considered one of the best players in the world, and his hat-trick against Montpellier was yet another reminder of his exceptional talent. After the match, Mbappé was quick to credit his teammates for their performance. “It was a great team effort today,” said Mbappé. “We played well from the start and we were able to create a lot of chances. I’m happy to have scored three goals, but the most important thing is that we got the win.” PSG manager Christophe Galtier was also full of praise for Mbappé, describing him as “unstoppable.” “He’s a special player,” said Galtier. “He’s always looking to score goals and he’s always dangerous when he has the ball. He’s a huge asset to our team.” With Mbappé in this kind of form, PSG will be confident of winning their first Ligue 1 title since 2020. The Frenchman is one of the most lethal finishers in the world, and he will be key to PSG’s hopes of success both domestically and in Europe.
