Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has been on another level in the calendar year.
Mbappe orchestrated a formidable 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign where he blossomed as the France national team’s go-to goal-scorer. The PSG star recorded a tournament-high eight goals to go along with two assists.
Overall, Mbappe upped his goal contributions total in 2022 to an astounding 72; he has logged 55 goals and 17 assists in all competitions for both PSG and France so far this year. Among all players in Europe’s top five leagues in 2022, Lionel Messi is the only other talent who has tallied at least 60 goal contributions in all competitions.

PSG will make a long-awaited return to action in its upcoming Ligue 1 home fixture against Strasbourg. If Mbappe ends up receiving the green light to play in the contest, then he will have an opportunity to reach 75 goal contributions in the year.
