Kylian Mbappe Hat-Trick: PSG Tops Ligue 1 with Football News

Kylian Mbappe scores hat-trick as PSG top Ligue 1. Coach not satisfied. Nice still unbeaten. Monaco escapes with draw.

Paris Saint-Germain clinched a 3-0 victory over Reims, with Kylian Mbappe scoring a hat-trick to lead the reigning champions to the top of the Ligue 1 table. Despite his impressive performance, PSG coach Luis Enrique expressed his desire for Mbappe to do even better. The win moved PSG to the top of the table, one point ahead of Nice, who drew with Montpellier on Friday.

Mbappe, who is Ligue 1's leading scorer with 13 goals in 11 appearances, has also netted twice in European competition. However, Luis Enrique emphasized that he wants more from the France captain, stating that Mbappe still has room to improve and should not rest on his laurels.

In response, Mbappe acknowledged that he wants to do more than just score goals, expressing his desire to contribute to the team's overall performance. PSG's victory came after their midweek Champions League loss to AC Milan, with Mbappe highlighting the difference in mindset and approach to different competitions.

The win against Reims demonstrated PSG's resurgence after a slow start to the season. The team's performance was bolstered by goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who made crucial saves to deny Reims a route back into the game. The victory allowed PSG to secure the top spot in Ligue 1, while Nice remains unbeaten in the season, having drawn with Montpellier.

Reims, on the other hand, remains in fourth place, while Monaco missed the opportunity to climb the table as they drew with Le Havre. Monaco was fortunate to escape with a point as Le Havre's Samuel Grandsir missed a penalty in the 10th minute of added time. Overall, the weekend's matches in Ligue 1 showcased the competitive nature of the league and the determination of the top teams to secure their positions in the standings.
