Kylian Mbappé scored in just eight seconds against Lille in PSG's third match of the 2022-23 Ligue 1 season on Sunday, making it the fastest goal in Ligue 1 history. Caen's Michel Rio also scored in eight seconds against AS Cannes in 1992.
Kick off, four touches, a Lionel Messi assist and a Donatello lob over the keeper. Lille players didn’t know what came at them.

Leo Messi had a flying start in Ligue 1, scoring a brace in PSG's 5-0 rout of Clermont Foot. One of those goals was a bicycle kick that sparked a few conversations around the world. Our favorite take? A sweet Argentinian grandma who fell from her chair trying to describe Messi's feat to her granddaughter.
For comparison purposes, this is Messi's bicycle kick after a superb assist from Leandro Paredes.

Lionel Messi scored a sensational bicycle-kick goal as Paris St Germain began the defense of their Ligue 1 title with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Clermont at the Stade Gabriel Montpied on Saturday.
Messi netted a brace to go with goals from Neymar, Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos as they followed up last weekend's 4-0 Trophée des Champions victory over Nantes with another easy win.
A well-oiled defense can be the difference between going out in the group stage and winning a tournament. Scoring four goals in a game is well and good until you turn around are realize the other team scored five. Every successful team needs to be able to keep the ball out of its own net. Defending is an art, and at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, many artists will be on display, putting their bodies on the line to ensure their team advances to the next round. But not all defenders are created equal.
