Mbappé the Magic Makes it Two

As PSG dominated the first half, Mbappé was bound to find the scoresheet. Just before the half, the French superstar raced past two defenders after receiving a pinpoint pass from Lionel Messi and fired a low shot into the net. Reminding everyone of Mbappé’s extraordinary talent, the aim was to deliver a masterclass in poise and accuracy.
