Kylian Mbappe made history after scoring against Nantes to become the top scorer for Paris Saint Germain.
Saturday night, PSG meet Nantes in Ligue 1.
Argentine legend Lionel Messi started and opened the scoring just 12 minutes after completing a good teammate move.
PSG took a 2-0 lead in the fifth minute after Messi's opening goal after Nantes defender Jaouen Hadjam sent the ball into his own goal.
Ludovic Blas scored to put Nantes back into the match after making it 2-1 in the 31st minute. Seven minutes later, the Ligue 1 leaders were shocked when Ignatius Kpene Ganago scored to make it 2-2.
In the second half, Danilo Pereira raised the score to 3-2 in the 60th minute.
Two minutes into injury time, history was made for Mbappe as he finally scored to make it 4-2 that night, becoming the club's top scorer.
After scoring his 201st goal for club Parc des Princes, he surpassed the previous record held by Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani.
Fans were quick to react to Mbappe's achievement. One person said:
"Best goalscorer and best player in the history of PSG."
Another person tweeted:
"He's the best! He's simply that! Respect Mbappe, already a young legend!
The third added:
"I can't help but smile. Mbappé you are the best!!!"
Another person wrote:
"201 reasons why Mbappe is the best on the planet."
While a fifth commented:
"Kylian Mbappe Lottin... The best of this generation."

Next up for PSG will be the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
Messi and his teammates still have a lot of work to do if they want to qualify for the quarter-finals after losing 0-1 in the first leg thanks to a goal from former PSG player Kingsley Coman.
