The match started at a frenetic pace, with both sides eager to establish their dominance. PSG were the first to strike in the 13th minute through Idrissa Gueye, who slotted home a low cross from Lionel Messi. However, Real Madrid responded with tenacity, and Luka Modrić leveled the scores just seven minutes later with a sublime long-range strike. The second half continued to be a tight affair, with neither team able to find a decisive edge. As the game approached its climax, Mbappé was introduced as a substitute. The French forward immediately injected pace and directness into PSG’s attack. With just four minutes remaining, Mbappé received the ball down the right flank. He burst past a defender and played a one-two with Messi before driving into the Real Madrid penalty area. In a moment of brilliance, he unleashed a thunderous shot into the bottom corner, leaving Thibaut Courtois with no chance. The Parc des Princes erupted in ecstasy as Mbappé’s goal secured a famous victory for PSG. The result leaves the French giants in a commanding position heading into the second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu. Mbappé’s late surge proved to be a defining moment in the match. His speed, skill, and clinical finishing were too much for Real Madrid to handle. The French forward has now scored 32 goals in 35 Champions League appearances, cementing his status as one of the most dangerous attackers in Europe. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will be left to rue their missed opportunities. They enjoyed the majority of possession and created several chances, but they lacked the cutting edge in front of goal. They will need to produce a strong performance in the second leg to overturn the deficit and reach the quarter-finals.
