Kylian Mbappé shook the nets with Real Madrid against AS Monaco, his training club, on Tuesday evening in the Champions League.
Kylian Mbappé ran towards the Real Madrid supporters, celebrated with his teammates before apologizing to the Monegasque fan park, tucked away in a corner of the Bernabéu. The star number 10 of the Merengues only needed five minutes to open the scoring against his training club, where he blossomed from December 2, 2015, Tuesday evening in the Champions League (7th day of the league phase).
On a great collective action from the Madrilenians in the opposing camp, Federico Valverde, full axis, shifted the “Kyks” who scored with a well-placed cross shot. Top scorer in the C1, the captain of the French team even scored a double twenty minutes later on a perfect serve from Vinicius to bring his total to 11 goals (26th). Too strong for these sad Asemists who remain in Ligue 1 after a home defeat against FC Lorient (1-3).
Mbappé after Lacina Traoré
As the account states Stats FootMbappé is the second former ASM player to score a goal for the Rocher team in the Champions League after Lacina Traoré with CSKA Moscow in October 2016. The players then led by Leonardo Jardim snatched a point on Russian soil while Ivorian striker Traoré, on loan for the season from Monaco, opened the scoring.
This is the season of the brilliant career of Radamel Falcao and others, with Mbappé as a new phenomenon, until the semi-finals of the C1 against Juventus (1-4 overall). Since then, ASM has played in the Champions League three times, also being eliminated twice in the qualifying rounds (to be transferred to the Europa League).
