When Messi conceded a penalty and Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal in 2022 in seven games, Mbappe proved the dawn of a new era in football with a four-seater.
Mbappe was undoubtedly the most camera-grabbing player in the home game against Real Madrid, first turning around in the box and firing a shot to test Courtois, and then being shoveled by Carvajal in the box to create a penalty.
Sadly, Messi conceded a penalty. When the game went to the last minute, just when Paris fans thought the game was over, Mbappe stepped up and scored a real dead end.
This goal reflected Mbappe's technical characteristics to the fullest, in the face of Militang, Vazquez's bag defense, Mbappe chose to force a breakthrough, and preemptively before Valverde to shoot, the ball flew from under Courtois crotch into the net. Mbappe showed his explosiveness, his technique and his grasp of the timing of the shot.
More importantly, his decisiveness has surpassed Messi and C Ronaldo. By the time Kylian Mbappe scored, the match had reached 93 minutes and 14 seconds, the latest goal paris had scored in the Champions League since 93 minutes and 44 seconds against Barca in April 2013.
Another statistic that proves his decisiveness is that in the last three seasons of the Champions League knockout rounds, Mbappe has scored seven goals, tied with Levan for the top spot in the Champions League.
In this season's Champions League, Mbappe has been involved in nine goals, scoring five goals and delivering four assists, which is a good pass, which has allowed him to set a record for a French player to average goals per game in the Champions League. In the last 13 Champions League games, Mbappe has scored 13 goals, averaging 1 goal per game.
Meanwhile, in his career, Mbappe has played in exactly 52 of his 52 Champions League games (32 goals and 20 assists), averaging 1 goal per game.
If nothing else, Mbappe will move to Real Madrid after the end of the season. Why Florentino has always been bullish on Mbappe, this game may be the best proof.
Real Madrid had just one shot on goal in the first half and only three in the whole game, which is the worst single game in the Champions League since the 2003-04 season.
Despite Having Benzema, Vinicius, Rodrigo, Asensio, Bale and Hazard, Real Madrid's forward line still needs to be overhauled, and Mbappe is the perfect candidate to improve the strength of the front.
However, before joining Real Madrid, what Mbappe has to do is to eliminate Real Madrid from the Champions League. After scoring the first leg, Mbappe said, "I will do my best, I did it in the first leg, and I will do it again in the second leg at the Bernabeu!" ”
Before cheering kyre-Mbappe, Real Madrid fans may have to experience what it would be like to be scored by him and eliminated from the Champions League. In the second leg of the game, the feelings of Real Madrid fans will be very complicated.
