Kylian Mbappe Clocks Blistering Speed Matching Usain Bolt's 2009 World Record Pace

Kylian Mbappe Clocks Blistering Speed Matching Usain Bolt's 2009 World Record Pace

Paris Saint-German forward Kylian Mbappe reportedly clocked a speed superior to that of legendary Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt in his club's latest match. Did you see it?

With Lille drawing earlier on Sunday, PSG were officially Ligue 1 champions when they beat Monaco 3-1 in a league clash that saw Mbappe net an incredible hat-trick in the process.

Facing his former team, the French superstar opened the scoring in stunning fashion after chasing a through-ball and reportedly recording a top speed of 38km/h.

The significance of his blistering run is that former 100m sprinter Usain Bolt clocked a slower speed when he set his 100m record of 9.58 seconds nearly 10 years ago.

With Bolt timed at 37.58km/h, Mbappe became the talk of social media as videos of his goal made the rounds on the internet.

Check it out!

Do you think Mbappe will become the best player in the world one day?
