All PSG supporters now pray that this goal will not only be the memory of an evening of celebration without a future but the first stone of a superb European course. Kylian Mbappé dazzled his world this Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes by scoring the only goal in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Real Madrid (1-0). A sublime sequence succeeded in the last minute of this match. Giant.
How to get tired of this breakthrough between the four legs of Vazquez and Militao? Speed of execution of his double leg pass, perfect ball control to better arm then, but also ideal choice of the area to start his dribble… Initiated by a heel from Neymar on the left side, this action ended between the compasses Belgian porter Thibaut Courtois.
“As long as the referee hasn’t whistled, we can settle the situation and have an opportunity to make a difference,” Kylian Mbappé told the press. After on goal, I have the advantage of very quickly entering the surface, which means that I am in control of my destiny, in control of my action. They are retreating, they don’t really know if they should intervene, there has already been a penalty in the match… But I knew what I wanted to do: put myself in the best conditions to shoot or to be able to overflow. So I pass between the two defenders and then I manage to slip it between Courtois’ legs.
This is the 17th goal of the season for Bondy’s crack. His fifth in the Champions League, which brings him level with Leo Messi. Almost an anomaly given the gap that currently separates the two men. Mbappé did everything to help him refine his statistics by getting the penalty missed on the hour mark by the Pulga.
