While Real Madrid took an option on qualification by winning 3-2 against Manchester City, Kylian Mbappé confirmed his great shape on the lawn of Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. If he came up against Ederson several times, the tricolor striker finally found the fault shortly after the hour of play and allowed the Real Madrid, led since the opening of Erling Haaland, D 'equalize for the first time.
The goal is reminiscent of that inscribed against Argentina in the final of the last World Cup. Served in depth by Dani Ceballos after a free kick repelled by the Mancunian wall, the Bondynois at least made the same gesture by going to the ball. But this time, the former Monegasque has missed somewhat since he took over the shot of the tibia. The success was nonetheless there, his cover ending in the skylight of Ederson, completely taken on the wrong foot.
Thierry Henry soon outside the top 10?
Kylian Mbappé could well laugh alongside Vinicius and Rodrygo while waiting for the Var to validate the goal. And the tricolor world champion had all the more reasons to savor this achievement as it allows him to panic the meters a little more because thanks to this achievement, Kylian Mbappé has become the second French top scorer in the history of The Champions League.
With now 52 goals on the clock, he has indeed exceeded Thierry Henry and his 51 C1 achievements to settle in 9e place in the ranking, four units from Thomas Müller. And now 10e In the ranking, the former Gunner should quickly leave the Top 10 since thanks to his double, Erling Haaland got closer, now displaying 48 goals on the clock.
