Kylian Mbappe bagged himself a hat-trick in the Champions League and became the third quickest to reach 60 goals in Europe's premier competition, which puts him on course to beat Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible record tally.

And the France international is the second youngest to hit 60 goals, beaten by a matter of days, by Lionel Messi.
