It was the player’s second game back after the tragedy and Mbappe offered his support.

PSG won 4-2 with the Frenchman netting in the 92nd minute to become the club’s all-time top goalscorer.

It was his 201st strike and he has overtaken the record held by Edinson Cavani.

Mbappe approached Ganago, who netted his side’s second of the match, in the tunnel after the full-time whistle.

The pair embraced before they swapped shirts and shook hands.

On breaking the record after playing just a total of 247 games, Mbappe said he was relaxed and knew his achievement would come: “I wasn’t putting any pressure on myself, I knew I would beat it and I didn’t want to force it.

“It’s great that the goal came at the end. Playing here is a privilege, I’ve improved as a player, I’ve changed a lot.

“Playing at PSG is special for me. If you told me I would score with the captain’s armband on to break the record, I wouldn’t have believed it.
