Mbappe Isn't The First Young Player To Break Records
Neymar
Neymar is not the first young player to break records. Mbappe isn’t even the first young player to score in Europe’s top five leagues. Star players like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and Mbappe are breaking records left and right and it is difficult for other young players to catch up.
In Barcelona’s last La Liga game of the season, Neymar scored a hat-trick against Girona. This made him the all-time La Liga top scorer with 222 goals in 306 appearances. This record was previously held by Gerardo Martino who played for Barcelona from 2004-2012.
Neymar also holds the all-time La Liga assist record with 134 assists in 306 appearances which is more than any other player in La Liga history. Merito achieved this record in 165 appearances and Barcelona teammate Andres Iniesta has 122 assists.
This season, Neymar has been playing for Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain (PSG). He has scored 43 goals in 52 games for Barcelona and 21 goals in 24 games for PSG. His total goal tally this season is 128 which is second only to Cristiano Ronaldo’s 145 goals this season.
Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe is the new sensation on the global football scene. He has already broken several records this season, including being the youngest player to score in Ligue 1 and the youngest player to score in a Champions League match. Mbappe is only 19 years old, and his impact on the game has been stunning.
Mbappe’s speed and skill are reminiscent of former French greats Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry. His goalscoring record this season is proof that he is one of the best players in the world. Mbappe has already scored 13 goals in just 28 appearances this season, which is more than any other player in Ligue 1. Mbappe’s impact on his team has also been impressive. Olympique Marseille have won 10 out of 12 matches since he joined them in January, which shows his importance to the club.
Mbappe is definitely one of the most exciting young players in the world, and he will continue to break records as he continues to play football.
Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard is not the first young player to break records. In fact, he may not even be the best young player to break records. This is because there are other young players who have broken records at a younger age.
One such player is Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe has already broken numerous records in his short career. These include:
-Most goals in a season for a teenager (19)
-Most assists in a season for a teenager (33)
-Most goals in a season by a teenager (34)
-Most points in a season for a teenager (86)
-Youngest player to score in the Champions League final (18 years, 349 days old)
Mbappe’s achievements have led some people to call him the “next Lionel Messi”. However, Messi has already established himself as one of the greatest players of all time, so Mbappe may never reach his level.
Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku is the newest Premier League striker to break records. He became the first player in Premier League history to score in 11 consecutive matches. According to the Daily Mail, this is a new record for any player in any division of Europe.
Lukaku has been one of the best strikers in Europe this season. In addition to his record-breaking goal streak, he has scored 23 goals in all competitions. This is good for second in the Premier League and ninth overall in Europe this season.
Lukaku has been a key part of Manchester United’s success this season. They are now four points clear at the top of the Premier League with 31 points from 17 games.
Alexis Sanchez
Alexis Sanchez’s record-breaking season for Arsenal has drawn comparisons with Mbappe.
Both players have scored 34 goals in all competitions this season, surpassing the previous record of 32 set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2013-14.
Mbappe has also been involved in more assists (19) than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues this season, and has created a total of 379 chances – more than any other player.
Despite these impressive statistics, Sanchez has been widely recognised as the best player on the pitch for Arsenal this season.
He has been voted Premier League Player of the Month twice, and was also named as the PFA Players’ Player of the Year for 2017.
Neymar Jr
Neymar Jr has already broken many records during his short career, and he is only 21 years old. Mbappe is not the first young player to break records, however. Here are a few other young players who have earned a place in the record books:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Ibrahimovic is one of the most decorated players in international football. He has won numerous titles with clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, and Inter Milan. He has scored over 200 goals in his career and holds several records, including most goals in a single season (38), most goals in a European Championship (8), and most goals in a FIFA World Cup (7).
Conclusion
It’s no secret that Kylian Mbappe is one of the most talented young footballers in the world, and he has cemented himself as one of the strongest players in France over the last year or so.
