Paris: Paris St Germain's Kylian Mbappe takes home the trophy -- Ligue 1 Player of the Year -- for the record fourth consecutive year.
Voted Ligue 1's best player in 2019, 2021 and 2022, becomes the first player to win the trophy four seasons in a row.
After another exceptional season, the Paris Saint-Germain forward boasts 28 goals and 5 assists in the league.
"It's a pleasure, I always wanted to win, to write my name into the league's history. But even with all the ambition I have I didn't expect to win so quickly," Mbappe was quoted by France 24.
For the seventh consecutive year, a Paris Saint-Germain player has won the trophy for Player of the Year, following in the footsteps of Zlatan Ibrahimovic (2016), Edinson Cavani (2017), Neymar Jr (2018) and Kylian Mbappe (2019, 2021 and 2022).
