Mbappe, Payet, Messi: Ligue 1 top scorers and most assists 2021/22 - in pictures

It is fair to say this will not be a season that Kylian Mbappe forgets in a hurry.

The French striker has just won his fourth Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain, secured the top goalscorer's award and also topped the charts for providing the most assists.
