In a stunning display of talent and prowess, Kylian Mbappe has bid adieu to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after surpassing several extraordinary milestones. The French forward leaves PSG as the club's all-time top scorer across all club competitions, with an astounding 255 goals and counting.

With this feat, Mbappe has overtaken his former teammate Edinson Cavani, who previously held the record with 200 goals. Furthermore, the 22-year-old football sensation has etched his name in Ligue 1 history as PSG's leading scorer with an impressive tally of 174 goals.

Mbappe's dominance extends to UEFA competitions, where he reigns supreme with 42 goals, exclusively in the Champions League. In addition, the versatile player has showcased his prowess in domestic cups, amassing 39 goals. Remarkably, Mbappe has also excelled in providing assists, ranking third in PSG's all-time list with 96 assists across all competitions, with Angel Di Maria being the only teammate ahead of him.

The statistics surrounding Mbappe's performance are mind-blowing, with 351 decisive actions in PSG colors, a margin of at least 116 better than any other player in the club's history. Moreover, Mbappe has left his mark in appearances, sitting in the top 10 for all-time appearances and third for UEFA appearances.

Apart from his goal-scoring prowess, the young talent holds various goal-related records such as being PSG's fastest scorer, finding the net within eight seconds, as well as scoring the most goals in a single game (five). Additionally, he shares the distinction of two UEFA hat-tricks with teammate Neymar, who surpasses him only in terms of transfer fee as the priciest player in club history.

Mbappe's accolades transcend individual achievements, as he has clinched the Ligue 1 title four times, earning himself the recognition of the league's best player on four occasions. He has also been crowned the best French player three times and the best young player twice.

Notably, when combining his achievements at PSG and his previous club AS Monaco, Mbappe has won an impressive seven out of a possible eight domestic crowns since his senior debut in late 2015. His total of 190 goals in the Championnat places him seventh on the all-time list, with Wissam Ben Yedder as the nearest recognizable and active name at 16th position with 160 goals.

While he may not have the opportunity to climb the ladder to the top 10 for all-time appearances, Mbappe is just two titles away from equalling the joint record of Marquinhos and Marco Verratti, who have triumphed nine times with PSG.

Kylian Mbappe's iconic status and impressive career have cemented him as one of the most influential figures in French soccer. His departure from PSG leaves a void, but his remarkable achievements and indelible impact will be cherished for years to come.
