Kylian Mbappe did whatever he wanted for Paris Saint-Germain on Monday night.
Christophe Galtier picked a strong team to play against Pays de Cassel in the French Cup.
Messi didn’t play, but Mbappe, Neymar, and Sergio Ramos did.
Pays de Cassel held off their opponents for most of the first half, but when Mbappe scored the first goal in the 29th minute, it was all over.
Mbappe finished his hat-trick in just 11 minutes. At halftime, PSG had a four-goal lead.
Even though they had a comfortable lead, Galtier decided that Mbappe and Neymar, his two best players, did not need a break.
The French player, who is 24 years old, scored twice more in the second half.
In the 79th minute, Mbappe scored his fifth goal, making him the first player in PSG history to score five goals in a single game.

The best goal was Mbappe’s second one.
The Frenchman ran after a ball that was played over the top, and when he was one on one with Pays de Cassel goalkeeper Romain Samson, he made a beautiful lob.
His fourth goal was definitely the funniest.
Samson ran out and looked like he could get to the ball before Mbappe with ease.
But he misjudged how the ball was going to move and missed it completely, letting Mbappe run through and score in an empty net.
Mbappe has scored 25 goals so far this season and is on track for his best season ever.
Pays de Cassel defender is a PSG ultra
Alexis Zmijak, one of the defenders for Pays de Cassel, is a big fan of PSG.
Before the game, he talked about how he might try to stop Mbappe.
According to Goal, he told Le Parisien, “If Mbappe gets through on goal, should I tackle him or not?” Do I think, “Wait, he’s about to play Bayern Munich in the Champions League.” I’m not worried about this game. We have nothing to lose, and this could be the best meeting of our lives. And for me, it’s great to be in this situation.”
In the last 16 of the French Cup, PSG will play Marseille. In the second week of February, the game will be held at the Stade Velodrome.
