At dawn on Sunday (12), in Ligue 1, Kylian McBarbie was like a shooting star in the night sky, scoring a hat-trick of three goals to help Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) sweep Reims away from home, 3-0, with the team's momentum of successive victories unabated, and jumped to the top of the table. With this feat, McBarbie also raised his hat-trick tally to eight, making him the player with the most hat-tricks in Ligue 1 since 2000.
Despite Paris Saint-Germain's defeat to AC Milan in the Europa League, the team returned to the domestic scene and quickly regained their form, with McBarbee's performance being a one-man show. He scored in the first three minutes of the match with a spectacular overhead kick and then added two more goals in the second half. According to Squawka statistics, since 2000, McBarbie's eight hat-tricks surpass former PSG scorer Ibe's seven to take sole possession of the lead. In second place is Monaco striker Bin Yeda with five hat-tricks.
It's worth noting that McBarbie has scored 13 goals in the league this season, becoming the first player to score 13 goals in the first 12 rounds of Ligue 1 since the 1971/72 season.
