WWhen Kylian Mbapp left PSG for Real Madrid, his goal was clearly to win the Champions League. After crushing the competition in Ligue 1, M-Vap decided they needed further support with a new venture to create new history.
It’s almost hard to believe what has happened since then. Without him, PSG would have won the Champions League in his first season after leaving the club. The following season, PSG quickly returned to the UCL semi-finals, but Mbapp had just been eliminated in the quarter-finals. Mbappu has won almost everything except the trophy he wants most. To reach the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Mbapp must do it in the Champions League.
However, it is difficult to place the blame on Mbap this time. Los Blancos had their own problems that needed to be resolved, but they were not solved in time to beat Bayern Munich. Mbappu contributed when the team needed it most, scoring a goal against Bayern. Losing hurts Mbapp more than anything, but at least he can say he did something that neither Ronaldo nor Messi could do.
Kylian Mbappé’s 10 away goals are a Champions League record
With Mbapp’s goal yesterday, he now has double-digit points in an away game during the Champions League. Neither Messi nor Ronaldo achieved the feat of scoring more than 10 away goals during their glittering European careers. However, there is one caveat. The new ChampionsLeak format will feature more away games than Ronaldo and Messi have had in the past.
Mbappe also reached 70 goals in the Champions League with his latest record. This is a number that only five other players in the history of the competition can claim. Ultimately, for a player of Mbappe’s caliber, everything should work out in the UCL.
