Barcelona-PSG (1-4): "This kind of match makes me even happier", jubilates Mbappé

The year 2020, with two goals in the Champions League in the last group match against Basaksehir (5-1) in December, is definitely forgotten for Kylian Mbappé.

For the first match of the year in PSG C1, the striker splashed his class with the large Parisian victory this Tuesday at FC Barcelona (1-4) in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.

He quite simply managed the perfect match by achieving the hat-trick: a personal feat in the first period then a left shot and a curled shot from the right at the end of the game.

A successful performance that (re) gave a smile to the now third top scorer in the history of PSG (111 achievements).

"I'm happy with my game," he said after the meeting at RMC's microphone.

I gave the best of myself with PSG.

This jersey is close to my heart.

Afterwards, I had some success.

I didn't want to hide even if sometimes we make mistakes and we make mistakes.

Today I was rewarded.
