Kylian Mbappe has once again proven that he is up to the task after scoring a hat-trick against Reims to send PSG to the top of Ligue 1 on Saturday.
Mbappe scored three minutes into the game as he volleyed the ball unmarked from a cross into the back of the net.
Champions PSG top the standings with 27 points, one ahead of Nice who played out a goalless draw at Montpellier on Friday.
Mbappe got his second of the game in the 59th minute, escaping a Reims defender to tap in a low cross at the far post.
Eight minutes from time, the 24-year-old France forward got a hat-trick after firing a brilliant shot from inside the box.
PSG manager Luis Enrique believed Mbappe could have done even better.
“Kylian was the best in terms of goals. But I think there’s still room for improvement, and we can still ask a lot more of our best players,” he said.
“I’m very happy. It was a very difficult match,” Luis Enrique said.
“Gigio (Donnarumma) saved us several times, but I think we deserved to win. We suffered, but we were alert and we defended well when we needed to.”
Reims tried to get back into the game, but PSG’s goalie, Donnarumma put up superb saves to stop them.
