KYLIAN MBAPPE needed just EIGHT SECONDS to score for PSG on Sunday night as he set a new record for the fastest ever Ligue 1 goal… before going on to bag a hat-trick in a 7-1 win over Lille.
The 23-year-old had the ball in the net just moments after kick-off as Lionel Messi played a majestic pass over the top of the Lille defence before Mbappe lobbed keeper Leo Jardim.
It was sensational goal which blew up social media as fans drooled over both the assists and finish.
One fan said: “What amazes me is how Messi passed the ball to Mbappe with so much ease 😫.”
While another added: “Looks like whatever issues Mbappe has had, he’s put them behind him.
“Great move by the front three. Messi is a genius.”

And Achraf Hakimi also got his name on the scoresheet.
