Michel Rio (born 7 March 1963) is a French former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
[citation needed] On 15 February 1992, Rio scored the fastest goal in Division 1 history, putting the ball in the back of net after eight seconds of play in an encounter between Caen and Cannes.
[1] On 21 August 2022, over thirty years later, Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé scored a goal against Lille that was clocked at eight seconds as well, thereby equalling Rio's longstanding record.
[2] However, according to newspaper L'Équipe and several other calculations, Mbappé's goal was scored slightly later, signifying that Rio's record remained unmatched.
