"He's the best striker in the world. We quickly saw that he was going to get this record, that he was obsessed with scoring at least that goal."

Galtier added:

"He wrote a great page in the history of Paris Saint-Germain . He also writes a great page of French, international football."

The French manager continued:

"He is, in my eyes, the greatest striker in the world. We are happy to have him in Paris and happy that he is in our championship."

Mbappe also opned up after etching his name on PSG's history books. He said after the game, as quoted by Goal:

"I play to write history. I've always said that I wanted to write history in France, in the capital, in my country, in my city, I'm doing it, it's beautiful, but there's still a long way to go. It's a personal accomplishment, but I also came for collective accomplishments."

Mbappe has scored 30 goals and has provided seven assists in 30 matches so far this campaign.
