Four minutes later, Mbappe made it 2-0 and Neymar added a third with half an hour on the clock as PSG ran riot.
Mbappe completed his hat-trick five minutes into the second half and 77 minutes after his new contract was confirmed as he pounced on Boubakar Kouyate who dawdled on the ball on the edge of the area.
The striker picked his pocket, rounded Marc-Aurele Caillard, and stroked into the unguarded net to ensure May 21 would be truly unforgettable.
And Mbappe may well have had more but was denied by the Metz goalkeeper and then struck the base of the post while Kouyate picked up a second yellow.

But while the vast majority of the Parc des Princes was in the mood to party, Metz knew they could be relegated if other results went against them.
And Saint-Etienne’s late equaliser saw them leapfrog Metz into 18th place and a relegation play-off spot as PSG’s final-day victims went down.
