Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid’s star, continued his brilliance in the UEFA Champions League this season by scoring an important goal against Bayern Munich.
Mbappé found the net past Manuel Neuer, but it was not enough to save Real Madrid from a 1-2 defeat in the match played on Tuesday evening at the Santiago Bernabéu in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
The Royal Club need to win by a two-goal margin in the return leg in Munich next week if they want to continue their journey in the continental competition.
The French star scored his 14th goal of the current Champions League season, leaving him just three goals away from the record for most goals in a single season, held by Cristiano Ronaldo (17 goals).
