First Barca, now Bayern: Mbappe unveils another Champions League masterpiece in Munich

Oct 19, 2021
The World Cup champion has 8 titles in this season-knockout goals have exceeded Thierry Henry's entire career
Since the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals since 2005, Messi and Ronaldo have been absent from the game, and Kylian Mbappe once again emphasized his ability to win the championship of outstanding players in this competition.

The two World Cup winners are all goals, because Paris Saint-Germain teamed together to lead Bayern Munich with a 3-2 quarter-final first leg advantage.
This is the 2020 final game: Bayern is out of breath between the side that intends to attack and the PSG team, and they are able to move forward quickly while negotiating pressure from the Bavarian masters.

On a snowy night, at the Allianz Arena, it was Mbappé’s pace that proved to be the greatest weapon of the Mauricio Pochettino camp.

A few minutes later, he took a position in space and shot through Manuel Neuer's powerful shot to punish Bayern's lack of defense. This is Bayern's fastest goal in the Champions League knockout game since Wayne Rooney entered Manchester United in 2010.

This paved the way for Marquinhos to lock Neymar’s perfect first cross, bringing the Parisian into a 2-0 lead, but when the captain was injured, due to lack of depth, any expression of defensive composure disappeared in the PSG defense system. The heart is exposed.

Bayern pulled the game back to 2-2 with headers from Eric Maxim Chobo-Mortin and Thomas Muller, but it was as if Hans Frick’s team was about to kill someone. , Mbappé galloped to the left, looked at Neuer, and sent a new ball. Finished the game brilliantly on the goalkeeper's near post.
In games where PSG has few chances, it is vital to remain calm before scoring a goal. Indeed, this is the only way for them to have a second race in the Parc des Princes within six days.

This is the second time in the knockout stage that Mbappé is decisive. Facing a growing Barcelona team at the Nou Camp in the past 16 years, the 22-year-old was equally decisive, winning a hat-trick the moment PSG took a 4-1 lead.

However, all this comes from criticism from France that Mbappé has not yet reached his best form. This has caused the player to comment, suggesting that he may leave in the summer for his first foreign adventure.

Indeed, Mbappé suffered a painful drought in the 2020 Champions League. Although PSG entered the final of the game, he still scored 10 games without scoring, from the group stage of the 2019-20 season to the last game of the group stage.

Although it should be taken into account that he lacked both physical fitness and sharpness in the last eight games he played in Lisbon, the reasons for concern due to PSG's initial poor performance this season are understandable.

Facing a series of decisive matches in Europe, Mbappe has now scored eight-quarters of the points, which is what fans have expected of Messi and Ronaldo for many years

Indeed, no French player has scored more than 8 points in a version of the Champions League, and Mbappe’s knockout goal at the age of 22 is due to what Thierry Henry can do throughout his career.

Regardless of whether PSG can negotiate a dangerous second round with Bayern next Tuesday, Mbappé has established himself as the next great football player this season.
