Kylian Mbappe could join a very prestigious club this evening if he scores two goals against Borussia Dortmund in PSG's Champions League semi-final.

Mbappe will be searching for his second Champions League final this season, having lost in 2020 to Bayern Munich during the Covid-hampered season.

The Frenchmen has scored eight goals so far this season in the competition in just ten appearances, including a brace in both knock-out away matches so far.

PSG will be looking at this season's campaign as a huge opportunity to finally break their Champions League curse as, despite Dortmund's pedigree, the Ligue 1 champions will be the heavy favourites to make it to Wembley.

This has more significance for Mbappe due to his contract situation, with his exit from Paris seemingly all but confirmed amid Real Madrid rumours.

PSG's lavish spending on the likes of Neymar and Mbappe was purely with the hope of winning Europe's biggest prize, so the potential for the 25-year-old to be able to fulfill the club's ambition in his last game would be a great story.

Mbappe doesn't have to look to the final to create history, as he has the opportunity to join a very exclusive club which just eight players have managed.

The PSG attacker is just two goals away from reaching the half-century mark in the UCL, becoming the joint-eighth top scorer in the history of the competition.

Considering his record in the competition, Mbappe will be desperate to finally get his hands on the trophy that has evaded him thus far in his career.
