Kylian Mbappe Has Reached 100 Goals Far Quicker Than Europe's Elite

Kylian Mbappe scored his 100th club goal on Wednesday night which makes him the youngest to reach that tally out of Europe's elite.

The Frenchman netted PSG's fourth goal in their 5-0 drubbing of Galatasaray to take his club goal tally to 100 a week before turning 21.

It means that he's reached the mark quicker than modern greats Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Check out the full list below.

1.) Kylian Mbappe - 20 years 356 days old

2.) Romelu Lukaku - 22 years 138 days old

3.) Sergio Aguero - 22 years 147 days old

4.) Lionel Messi - 22 years 206 days old

5.) Wayne Rooney - 23 years 37 days old

6.) Harry Kane - 23 years 213 days old

7.) Cristiano Ronaldo - 23 years 255 days old

8.) Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 26 years 63 days old

Messi didn't reach 100 goals for Barcelona until he was 22 years and 206 days old while Ronaldo was a year older at 23 years and 255 days.

But out of Europe's current top strikers, the man closest to Mbappe is Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku is currently at Inter Milan but plied his trade as a teenager at West Brom and Everton.

Sergio Aguero also features on the list after shining as a youngster at Atletico Madrid before a big money move to Manchester City in 2011.

Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a veteran on the list in comparison to the rest.

The Gunners captain didn't reach his peak until his mid 20's when he got a move to Borussia Dortmund.

It took him until he was 26 to reach a century of league goals.

But they all pale in comparison to Mbappe.

The former Monaco man has been key to Thomas Tuchel's sides dominance this season.

However, it does seem that the youngster is likely to move on from the Parcs des Princes in the summer.

His manager substituted him off this past weekend against Montpellier and Mbappe was visibly disappointed with having to come off.

Tuchel spoke after the game and said he has to show 'respect'.

PSG qualified from their Champions League group unbeaten ahead of Real Madrid and are top of Ligue 1 by a size able margin.
