A mix of power, talent and mastery.
We had only been playing for 13 minutes at the Allianz Stadium in Turin when Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring for Paris, ridiculing the Juventus defense in the process.
On a pass from Messi, the Parisian recovers the ball 30 meters from the goal by eliminating thanks to a fake body a first defender, Gatti.
The latter then tries to cling roughly to the jersey of the Parisian n ° 7, but nothing to do there: Mbappé is launched towards the goal, eliminates another defender with an outside hook before putting himself in a striking situation, 20 yards in front of Szczesny's goal.
Mbappé's masterpiece for the opening of the Parisian score!

The finish is perfect, with a rolled right that touches the post before returning, for a new masterpiece.
This is his 40th goal in the Champions League.
He also becomes, at 23 years and ten months, the youngest player to reach this mark.
He "steals" this record from his passer, Lionel Messi, who held it until then with 24 years and 4 months.
