Video: Mbappe scores hat trick against Metz after signing new PSG contract
Kylian Mbappé’s return to Paris Saint-Germain is official with one of the biggest deals in football history. Before its game against FC Metz on Sunday, the Ligue 1 winners presented Mbappé on the field along with president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to announce that he has signed an extension through 2025 to remain with the club instead of leaving for Real Madrid.
“I’m very happy to continue the adventure, to stay here in France and Paris, my city, in front of you all,” World Cup and Ligue 1 winner, Mbappé said through a translator before the game. “I hope to continue to do what I love the most, which is to play fútbol. Thank you to everyone.”
To show his loyalty to remain in Paris, Mbappé was at his A-game against to-be relegated team Metz, scoring a hat trick. The first goal came at the 25’ minute mark to open the scoring. The second goal occured just three minutes later to double the lead. And finally, Mbappé completed the hat trick just after halftime, extending PSG’s lead to four.
The 23-year-old has played each of the last five seasons with PSG, with a stat of 116 goals in 141 matches.
