• Kylian Mbappe's goal equaled the record for the fastest ever goal scored in French soccer.

Paris Saint-Germain scored the fastest goal in French soccer history on Sunday as it hit LOSC Lille for seven at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

The visitor scored just eight seconds into the match, with Lionel Messi picking out Kylian Mbappe, who then lobbed Lille keeper Léonardo Jardim.

Mbappe's strike equaled the previous record set by Caen midfielder Michel Rio, who also scored after eight seconds in a match against Cannes in 1992.

PSG was unrelenting after Mbappe's opener.

Messi scored in the 27th minute to make it 2-0, before goals from defender Achraf Hakimi and Brazilian forward Neymar made it 4-0 at the break.

Neymar scored his second after half-time to make it five and Mbappe added two more to complete his hat trick after Lille hit a consolation goal through Jonathan Bamba.

The victory is PSG's biggest ever against Lille and means it is top of Ligue 1 after three wins in its first three matches.

PSG manager Christophe Galtier, who won the Ligue 1 title with Lille in 2020/21, said after the match that his team's performance was a "nice image of Paris Saint-Germain."

"I am very satisfied, obviously with the victory, but also with the individual and collective attitude," he said. "The players had a lot of fun, there are strong signs from that match.

"There are strong signs between the players, a lot of connections, relationships, a desire to play for the team and not individually."
