Reporter Han Bing reported that the Spanish media and Real Madrid fans witnessed Real Madrid being killed in stoppage time in the Champions League, the last time was in 2008, Rome's Montenegrin goalscorer Wucinic killed the Galactic Fleet in 2 minutes of stoppage time. After 14 years, Florentino in the VIP box witnessed Mbappe, who is likely to become a Real Madrid player in the summer, dominate the attack of Paris with absolute personal ability and complete the kill, presumably with a mixed heart. Such Mbappe is indeed the best core candidate in his mind to succeed C. Ronaldo and usher in a new era of galactic fleet. Then again, such a Mbappe, which team doesn't want it?
Back to Mbappe's point of view, the French superstar has fulfilled his promise: even if it is an open secret to leave Paris, even if joining Real Madrid is an open secret, he must abide by professional ethics, not only never mention the joining matters related to Real Madrid, but also take it as his duty to defeat Real Madrid and win the "understanding" of the fans of Greater Paris. Being able to leave the Champions League trophy for Paris as a farewell gift is of course the most ideal ending. And Mbappe personally, in such a global focus of the game, dominate the game, kill the game, but also the best charge to the "Mero era". After this campaign, Mbappe has proved to the world that at this moment, he is the best star on the planet.
The 11 starters in Paris are worth 615 million euros, with Mbappe alone more than 1/4. Although Messi is honored, mbappe is the real and only protagonist in this Champions League knockout match that concerns the future of the two giants. Both Paris and Madrid need to prove Mbappe's attitude through his performances on the pitch; the French star himself also needs to prove his strength and professional attitude with convincing performance. He needs to quell the anger of the fans of Grand Paris and leave enough room for his friends and family who are still living in Paris. At the same time, it is also necessary to prove to the two presidents of florentino and Helafi in the VIP box that he is worthy of the world's first value of 160 million euros.
Pochettino, who is deeply involved in the crisis of the coaching position, dares to face Real Madrid's "let go of a horse", which is to fully trust Mbappe's state. Indeed, although Carlo Ancelotti chose to be conservative and Paris' offensive performance was not outstanding, mbappe alone was enough to disrupt Real Madrid's defensive system. Carvajal was clearly overwhelmed by the French star, and even if the Italian coach laid out the tactic of multi-packing once Mbappe took the ball, he could not stop his breakthrough and passing and shooting. Although most of the game did not have Neymar's response on the other side, Messi was also closely watched and made more mistakes, Mbappe still had two successful passes, 22 successful passes, three minutes of stoppage time before Real Madrid, a shot that was enough to change the score in the first and second half, and even forced the uncontrolled Carvajal to foul the penalty in the second half.
Throughout the game, Mbappe personally created 4 absolute scoring opportunities. In particular, in the 50th minute, under the bag of Militang and Alaba, he could also receive the ball in the penalty area and turn around to find the space to almost break the goal. Carlo Ancelotti realized that Carvajal could not stop Mbappe, but although Vazquez had a certain speed and physical strength, the technical and explosive power was too far behind Mbappe. After Neymar came out to straighten out the attack of Paris, Mbappe used his signature move to get rid of the defense of Vázquez and Militão, and killed Real Madrid before Valverde blocked, so that Ancelotti's white-rolled dream was shattered at the last minute.
93 minutes and 14 seconds, this is the latest goal of Paris in the Champions League since Matuidi's goal of Barca's goal (93 minutes and 44 seconds) in April 2013, but it is likely to be worth tens of millions of euros. Mbappe has continued his recent excellent goal-scoring feel and continues to be the giant killer of the Champions League knockout rounds in Paris. In the last three seasons of the Champions League knockout rounds, he has scored seven goals, tied with Levan for the top spot in this statistic. This season's Champions League has scored five goals and four assists, with goals tied with Messi. Kylian Mbappe has scored 13 goals in his last 13 Champions League games, a completely top-notch efficiency at the Level of Mero.
Such a Mbappe, which team does not want it?
Mbappe has faced Real Madrid three times before, and Paris has not won. But this time, Mbappe proved at the Parc des Princes that he was capable enough to be C. Rowe's successor at the Santiago Bernabeu. The AS newspaper was pleased with Mbappe's performance: "It was Mbappe's night, and all the lights were lit for him. Given that there is no suspense in his joining Real Madrid, this game is almost demanding for him, and everyone is watching to see if he can meet real Madrid's standards. On such a difficult night, he showed all that it is to be a great player: calm, determination, leadership and resilience. He was a great shooter, like lightning. ”
The more praise mbappe is in the Spanish media, the more disappointed he is with Real Madrid's performance. At the same time, how Mbappe plays at the Santiago Bernabeu will be more important than the performance in the first leg, because it is a matter of who can qualify. However, at that time, Real Madrid will lack the two main defensive forces of Mendy and Casemiro, and the defensive ability will further decline. Ancelotti has yet to address the question of how to contain Mbappe on the right, and there is also a crisis in the middle and left. What really makes the Spanish media jealous is that if the Greater Paris discharges mnemonic trident, Mbappe will probably be more successful on the offensive end, and the scoring opportunities created will be more than at home, when Courtois will become the only reliance on Real Madrid.
With the victory in the first leg, Pochettino's trust in Mbappe grew. The Argentine coach at the post-match press conference answered reporters' questions in detail, especially about Mbappe: "Mbappe has amazing attacking power, he is one of the best players in the world and everyone has seen his ability. I've been coaching in Paris for over a year and the Mbappe I've seen is one of the best in the world. After Mbappe scored, Paredes used his chest to hit the manager to share the joy and accidentally hit Pochettino's nose, who also consulted the team doctor to confirm that his nose had not been broken. Of course, apart from this accident, all that remains is joy.
Pochettino deliberately countered Ancelotti's optimism about Mbappe's possible performance at the Santiago Bernabeu: "We are all optimists by nature, we have a striker who likes to break through in possession, dare to take risks and shoot inside the opponent's penalty area, and I think we can see it at the Santiago Bernabeu. Kylian Mbappe's goal three weeks later should have forced Florentino to meet the French superstar's additional request for portrait rights and merchandise sharing – because he deserved the bid that seemed excessive.
