Mbappe scores stunner in stoppage

After teammate Lionel Messi missed a penalty, Kylian Mbappe saved his team again by scoring a brilliant solo goal deep into stoppage time as Paris Saint-Germain beat Real Madrid 1-0 in their Champions League last-16 match on Tuesday. Mbappe has rescued PSG many times with late goals in the French league this season — as recently as last Friday — and he did so again on the biggest stage.

After taking a back-heeled pass from substitute Neymar in the fourth and fi nal minute of stoppage time of the first leg, Mbappe cut inside two players down the left and shot the ball between.

Messi misses penalty

Lionel Messi blew a golden opportunity to open the scoring for PSG against Real Madrid as his penalty kick was saved by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Courtois had played the starring role, denying Mbappe early in each half and then stopping record seven-time Golden Ball winner Messi’s penalty in the 61st minute. It was awarded after Mbappe was fouled by right back Dani Carvajal. Courtois guessed correctly and dived to his left for a fi ne stop.

‘I’ve not decided’: Mbappé coy over PSG future

Kylian Mbappé has said he is happy at Paris Saint-Germain but remains undecided over his future as rumours continue to swirl over a move to Real Madrid.

PSG turned down an offer of about £170m from Madrid for Mbappé last August. The France international, who has 22 goals and 16 assists for PSG this season, is expected by many to move to Real on a free, having so far resisted offers to sign a new PSG deal.
