WATCH: Lionel Messi's magical assist helps Kylian Mbappe score fastest goal in Ligue 1 history

Kylian Mbappe scored the fastest goal in Ligue 1 history after a brilliant assist from Messi.

Kylian Mbappe latched on to a magical assist from Lionel Messi to score the fastest goal in Ligue 1 history. The PSG duo was in sublime form as they combined well to run riot against Lille in the Ligue 1 clash between the two teams. It took Mbappe just 8 seconds after kick-off to find the back of the net and equal the record for the fastest goal in Ligue 1.

After the kick-off whistle, Neymar laid one for midfielder Leandro Paredes, who passed the ball back to him before the Brazilian found Messi with his second pass. Messi produced a stunning defence-splitting assist to find Mbappe up front and the French striker made no mistake as he slotted it home inside just eight seconds.

It was a brilliant finish from Mbappe, who was ready on the edge of the box and found himself in a one-on-one situation with Lille goalkeeper Leo Jardim. The young striker scooped the ball over Jardim's head to give PSG the lead in the game and equal former French footballer Michel Rio's record, who had also scored in 8 seconds forCaen against Cannes in 1992.
