Kylian Mbappe became the first Paris Saint-Germain player to score five times in one match as the Ligue 1 giants hammered sixth-tier side Pays de Cassel 7-0 in the French Cup on Monday.

Perrone, who played for Argentina’s Under-20 team, signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with the Premier League champions.

The 20-year-old is playing in the South American Under-20 Championship in Colombia right now. When the tournament is over, he will join City.

He will train with Pep Guardiola’s first-team squad for the rest of the season, but he was brought in with an eye on the future and is not expected to play this season.

Since his first game for Velez in March of last year, Perrone has played 33 times and scored three goals.

“Once we scored the first goal it became harder for our opponents,” PSG boss Christophe Galtier told reporters.

“The opponents we’ll face over the next weeks are of a different quality,” he added.

Mbappe was given the captain’s armband, and Neymar also started. However, Lionel Messi was given a break and didn’t play in this match, which was played at the 38,000-seat Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens, France, in front of a full house.

Pays de Cassel is a small club made up of a few villages near the port city of Dunkirk in the far north of France. Their amazing run to this point in the tournament has caught the attention of everyone in the area.

Early on, they played well against the leaders of Ligue 1, but their resistance was broken just before the half when Mbappe scored off a pass from Nuno Mendes. The ball took a crucial deflection on its way to the goal.

Neymar then scored his first goal since the World Cup, which was set up by Mbappe. The France star then scored his team’s third goal with a lob and then scored his hat trick with a pass from Vitinha.

In the 56th minute, the goalie made a mistake that led to Mbappe’s fourth goal and PSG’s fifth.

Neymar set up Soler’s backheel goal to make it 6-0, and then Mbappe finished off the rout with his fifth goal of the game to tie the all-time record for most French Cup goals.

He has now scored 29 goals in the competition, the same number as the great Jean-Pierre Papin, who used to play for Marseille.
