Linking up with Neymar and

, the three formed one of the most august forward lines in world football for PSG.

Mbappe began the season with a memorable victory over Guingamp in Ligue 1 in which Donatello scored twice in the last 10 minutes of the match. Soon he accompanied Cavani and Neymar to score the three goals of their match against Angers at home which resulted in a 3–1 victory. Mbappe was the star of that match as he scored his goal from a volley, and also assisted Neymar.

Beginning the New Year, on January 19th Mbappe became one of the two PSG players, besides Cavani, to score a hat-trick in a 9–0 win over Guingamp. A great beginning! Don’t you agree?! It is also worth mentioning that his result broke PSG’s previous season’s record.
