Until then, it had been an excellent night for Mbappé.
He used an expert control with his left foot to gather a pass from Brahim Díaz before he quickly darted past a defender and unleashed a shot with his right foot into the far corner after just 10 minutes.

Cristiano Ronaldo leads the all-time Champions League scoring list with 140 goals and Messi is next with 129.
