Playing against Olympiacos in Athens, Greece, Mbappé delivered one of the standout performances in Champions League history, scoring all four goals for Real Madrid as they registered a stunning 4-3 victory.
Chiquinho, Mehdi Taremi and Ayoub El Kaabi netted for the hosts in the seven-goal thriller Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Mbappe scored three times for Real Madrid between the 22nd and 29th minutes, and again in the 60th, of a 4-3 win at Olympiakos.
With 4 goals, Mbappe also became the first Real Madrid player to score four in a major European away match.
