Author of a double on the pitch of Real Sociedad, Kylian Mbappé received the trophy for the best goal of the week in the Champions League.
Kylian Mbappé was the big man in Paris Saint-Germain’s qualification for the Champions League. Author of a double on the pitch of Real Sociedad (1-2), the Bondynois allowed his club to reach the quarter-finals of the competition without trembling.
As a reward, Mbappé received the trophy for the best goal of the week. His second goal was worth a look, thanks to the superb collective action which preceded the decisive through ball to the Frenchman. But it was Mbappé’s first goal that was acclaimed, the one where, after a fake shot, he fired a powerful shot from a tight angle, perfectly placed.
First this season for Mbappé
For this award, Mbappé competed with Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid), Manuel Akanji (Manchester City) and Mohamed Elyounoussi (Copenhagen). The PSG striker had not yet received this trophy this season, unlike Brahim Diaz, Erling Haaland or Gabriel Jesus, who were awarded during the group stage or during the round of 16 first leg.
