Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe grabbed his second hattrick as a Real Madrid as he registered an impressive display for Los Blancos in their 3-1 thrashing of Manchester City in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League knockout tie on Wednesday night.

The French superstar latched on to a crafty long weighted pass from defender Raul Asencio to open the scoring for Carlo Ancelotti’s side on the 4th minute mark before registering the second goal from a Rodrygo Goes assists inside 33 minute.

City created little opportunities in the first-half with the Madrid defence pocketing the City attacker led by Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner sealed his treble on the night with a fierce drive from just inside the City box with a powerful low drive just after the hour mark before before Nico Gonzalez reduced the deficit for the Citizens.
