From Mexico, Pedro Miguel Pauleta followed Sunday night’s classic (3-0), which Paris Saint-Germain won for the 36th time in the tournament. The 49-year-old Portuguese striker was on hand at the request of the League for Professional Football (LFP) to promote his first division, and was followed on social media by around 7 million people in the Central American country.
The fifth top scorer in the history of the Parisian club, with 109 goals, Aigle des Açores is in awe of Kylian Mbappé, who, thanks to his brace at the Stade Velodrome, became the top scorer for Paris Saint-Germain with 200 goals, tied with Edinson Cavani (2013-2020).
What inspires you with Kylian Mbappe’s goalscoring record?
We are facing a phenomenon that will affect history. He is the best player in the world today. He deserves this record and I hope he continues to score goals for PSG for a very long time.
What do you like most about it?
He is a goalscorer but above all his mental and physical strength and speed. He has everything to succeed like Zinedine Zidane, Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. When it is released, it is impossible for defenders to stop it. He scored goals but not just as an assist for Messi in Sunday’s second goal. It’s a stroke of genius. He saw something no one else saw.

Pedro Miguel Pauleta on Kylian Mbappe
You compare him to Messi, Ronaldo or Zidane. Could he be older than them?
Kylian can break all records and follow the same path as Messi or Ronaldo, that’s for sure. It is a phenomenon that can break all records.
You are the fifth top scorer in the history of the club, after the duo Mbappe, Cavani Ibrahimovic and Neymar. how do you feel?
Being fifth behind these players, I am delighted to be in this place alongside these highly capable players. Considering the number of chances PSG gets and the players that make up the squad, it’s only natural that he scores a lot of goals. Kylian is different, he’s really exceptional. »
