With Kylian Mbappé (PSG) on top of the scorers chart as he bids to win a fifth-straight Ligue 1 Uber Eats top scorer title, find out which players are the youngest and oldest to have been crowned Ligue 1 Uber Eats top scorer.

While he is the youngest player to have won the Ligue 1 Uber Eats top scorer award four times, last season at the age of 23, Kylian Mbappé (PSG) is not the youngest player to have finished a season at the top of the top scorers chart. The France star was crowned top scorer in Ligue 1 Uber Eats for the first time in 2018-19 (33 goals) during his second season at Paris Saint-Germain, five months after his 20th birthday. He is now in second place in a ranking that has been dominated since the 1950-51 season by Roger Piantoni (FC Nancy), who shared the trophy with Jean Courteaux (OGC Nice) at the time, when he was still only 19.

The two scorers are ahead of three other Frenchmen who won the trophy at the age of 21: Djibril Cisse (AJA, 2001-02), Herve Revelli (ASSE, 1966-67) and Karim Benzema (OL, 2007-08). Youngest top scorers in Ligue 1 Uber Eats: 1. Roger Piantoni (FC Nancy, 1950/51): 19 years old 2. Kylian Mbappé (PSG, 2018/19): 20 years old 3. Djibril Cissé (AJA, 2001/02): 21 years old -. Hervé Revelli (ASSE, 1966/67): 21 years old -. Karim Benzema (OL, 2007/08): 21 years old 6. Etienne Lukacs (FC Sète, 1933/34): 22 years old 7. Alen Boksic (OM, 1992/93): 23 years old -. Alexandre Lacazette (OL, 2014/15): 23 years old -. Nicolas Ouédec (FC Nantes, 1993/94): 23 years old -. Pierre Sinibaldi (SdR, 1946/47): 23 years old -. René Bliard (SoR, 1954/55): 23 years In the 21st century alone, PSG's French striker is the youngest person to win the Ligue 1 Uber Eats top scorer trophy. He beats Djibril Cissé, Karim Benzema, Alexandre Lacazette, all of whom were in the historic top ten, then André-Pierre Gignac (24, TFC in 2008-09), Moussa Sow (25, LOSC in 2010-11), Olivier Giroud (26, MHSC in 2011-12) and the first foreigners, Switzerland's Alexander Frei (26, Stade Rennais in 2004-05) and Congo's Shabani Nonda (26, AS Monaco in 2002-03). Onnis better than Zlatan and Pauleta At the other end of the table, Delio Onnis celebrated his fifth and final top scorer award in the French championship at the age of 36, in 1983-84, with his third different club, Toulon (after ASM and Tours). The Argentine is ahead of two Paris Saint-Germain players: Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pedro Pauleta. The oldest top scorers in Ligue 1 Uber Eats: 1. Delio Onnis: 36 years old with Toulon in 1983-84 2.
