Kylian Mbappe: Henry, Carragher & Richards' reaction to PSG star's winner v Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe was Paris Saint-Germain‘s match winner once again on Tuesday evening.
The fleet-footed striker scored a 94th-minute winner against Real Madrid – the team he’s expected to join in the summer – at the Parc Des Princes to secure a priceless 1-0 first leg victory for Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
Mbappe was a thorn in Los Blancos’ side throughout the entirety of the match and his goal was a just reward for yet another stellar Champions League knockout performance.
The Frenchman’s stoppage-time strike also spared Lionel Messi‘s blushses, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner seeing his tame penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois in the 62nd-minute of play.
Yes, Mbappe’s heroics were truly a moment to savour for PSG fans and the goal was as good as it was important.
The 23-year-old collected a pass from Neymar on the left-wing, danced his way through Real Madrid’s defence and then fired the ball through Courtois’ legs from an acute angle.
Just when it looked like we were set for a 0-0 draw, up pops Kylian Mbappe with a bit of absolute magic
