French star Kylian Mbappe scored an early goal and equalized the fastest goal in the history of the French League, paving the way for Paris Saint-Germain to win 7-1 on Sunday against its host Lille in the third stage of the French Football League.
And Mbappe needed 8 seconds to put the ball into the goal after a pass from Lionel Messi, and equaled the record of Michel Rio in 1992 with Caen against Cannes.

It seemed clear that the goal was the result of a special work during the French club's training, as Mbappe took advantage of his high speed to reach the appropriate position to receive the ball accurately sent by Messi, before he inhabited the net by passing it over the Lille goalkeeper.
Parisian club coach Christopher Galtier saluted his assistants in the team's technical staff, for the success of their plans, which were worked on during the training sessions last week.
Galtier explained - in televised statements after the match - that the idea of the goal came after watching a similar goal scored by the youth team, and said, "It is a simple reference to our under-19 team, which scored a similar goal against Salzburg in the Youth Champions League."
He added, "Doing this during training is something, and implementing it successfully during the match is something that the players should be congratulated for."
Mbappe scored a hat-trick, Neymar scored two goals, and both Lionel Messi and full-back Ashraf Hakimi scored once in the overwhelming victory for Paris Saint-Germain, which raised his score to 17 goals in the first 3 games of the season, and leads the competition with 9 points, two points ahead of Lens and Olympique.
