It seemed like a matter of time for PSG to take the lead in the second leg against Real Madrid, and with Kylian Mbappé in impressive form, the French side managed to do so before the end of the first half.
The French footballer had one goal disallowed by VAR technology, but he was not going to be denied from it twice in the same half. The superstar rushed to a long ball by Neymar and cleaned up the floor with David Alaba, who waited too long to make his move, giving Mbappé enough space to shoot and beat Thibaut Courtois' effort.
With this goal, Mbappé has already entered PSG's record books, as he has surpassed the goalscoring tally of one of the French team's legends.
