Mbappe has tackled Barcelona on five 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 will not have fond memories from his first El Clasico, as he had a goal disallowed in a 4-0 Real Madrid defeat, with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice in a statement victory for Hansi Flick's side.
