Mbappe has tackled Barcelona on four occasions during his professional career, and in his first-ever appearance against the Catalan outfit, he struck a famous hat-trick.
Indeed, the ex-Monaco youngster netted three times against the La Liga giants in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 affair back in 2021, with Paris Saint-Germain recording a 4-1 victory at Camp Nou.
Mbappe then netted once in the return leg in Paris, with the French giants drawing 1-1 in order to advance to the quarter-finals of the competition courtesy of a 5-2 aggregate success.
The Frenchman played the full 90 minutes against Barcelona in the first leg of their European Cup quarter-final on April 10, 2024, but he found it difficult to make his mark in a 3-2 loss for the Paris giants.
Mbappe starred in the reverse game, though, netting twice as PSG recorded a 4-1 victory to advance to the semi-finals.
The forward's record against Barcelona therefore stands at two wins, one draw and one defeat from four games, scoring six times in the process, but this will be his first appearance against the Catalan giants since his arrival at Real Madrid.
