(CNN) Kylian Mbappe scored a wonderful last-minute goal to inspire Paris Saint-Germain to a 1-0 victory against Real Madrid in their Champions League round of 16 first-leg tie on Tuesday.
The game looked to be drifting to a goalless draw before the Frenchman drove at the Madrid defense and slotted a fine finish past Thibaut Courtois in the 94th minute of the match.
It came after Lionel Messi saw his second-half penalty saved by the Madrid keeper.
PSG would have been frustrated had it not capitalized on its dominance at the Parc des Princes stadium — the host had 21 efforts on goal compared to Madrid’s three and dominated possession.
But despite Messi, Mbappe and eventually Neymar on the pitch, it took a last-gasp effort from the brilliant Frenchman to earn the win.
Mbappe, who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid next season, had been the most threatening player throughout the match with his pace and trickery giving Madrid’s defense nightmares at times.
