VIDEO: Kylian Mbappe, that is outrageous! PSG star scores stunning goal amid hat-trick performance in crushing of Montpellier

After setting up the opening goal and then doubling his team's lead from a tight angle, Montpellier managed to pull level before the end of the first half. Mbappe, though, proved just how pivotal he is to PSG when he restored their lead early into the second period, smashing in off the bar from outside the box.

WATCH THE CLIP

After Lee Kang-in added another mesmerising goal to make it 4-2 to PSG, Mbappe completed his hat-trick with another fine goal, killing off any hope for Montpellier with almost 30 minutes left to play. The French striker is in the final months of his time in the French capital, having already informed them he will leave this summer, with Real Madrid expected to snap him up imminently.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The French forward will hope to continue his excellent form for Luis Enrique's side as they look set to claim the Ligue 1 title and hope to challenge for the Champions League crown before he departs in the summer.
