Mbappe is the 'BEST player in Europe' says Real Madrid boss Ancelotti

Kylian Mbappe is 'unstoppable' and is the best player in Europe, believes Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti. 

Mbappe is widely expected to swap Paris for Madrid in the summer when his contract expires but he was all-in with PSG on Tuesday as his 94th-minute winner gave the French giants a slender first leg advantage in the last-16 of the Champions League.

The 23-year-old feasted down PSG's left side and he capped off a brilliant display with a goal in the final seconds to leave a defeated Ancelotti in awe of his talents.  

'Mbappe is the best player in European football,' Ancelotti said.

'Mbappe is unstoppable, we have tried to control him. Militao has done very well, but he is a player who always invents something.'

Real Madrid remained defensively resolute for 93 minutes, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois even saving a Lionel Messi penalty, but in the end they return to Spain with work to do in the second leg on March 9. 

'We didn't play well but we are not dead yet,' Ancelotti added.

'We need to press more in the second leg. We are behind on the scoreboard and need to be better on the ball, which we didn't do well today.

'We couldn't get out with the ball and we misplaced a lot of passes because of their high press. They did that well and put us under difficulty in that sense.' 

Mbappe gave an interview in Spanish at the final whistle in which he was quizzed on whether his match-winning display was due to wanting to impress Real Madrid, his expected next employers.  

'I've not decided my future,' he told Movistar. 'I play for Paris Saint-Germain, one of the best clubs in the world.

'This game to influence my future? No - I've not decided, I give my best and then we will see what happens next season.'
