It ended just 0-1 to PSG, even though they dominated the game against Real Madrid in the last eight of the Champions League, but throughout the minutes of the game, it was clear to everyone who was going to make the difference - the great Killian Ambape of course.
Not Leo Messi who missed Pendel, not Neymar who got up from the bench and in fact no one else could compete for the title of man of the match against the French phenomenon, which caused the Spanish defense a lasting headache, until he broke it in overtime.
Whoever referred to this was Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, who admitted that neither of his team has an answer to Ambape's abilities: "It seems he is unstoppable."
The Italian continued: "Everyone tried to stop him, get him out of the game, Adar Militeau did a particularly good job, but it was not enough. We tried to take over Ambape, but he always finds a new way to hit you."

Former France international striker Thierry Henry also joined in the compliments heaped on Ambape: "He's one of the only players who makes me scream and jump out of my seat when I watch him play."

Henry continued: "Ambape, this is what I want to see in football. I keep talking about one-on-one situations, and he reminds everyone that it has to be done all the time at this level. He knows how to do it. Let him play, have fun. What a night. Magical, certainly not his last. "
