UCL: Kylian Mbappe’s Late Strike Hands PSG Slender Advantage Over Real Madrid

Match report as PSG beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie; Lionel Messi had earlier seen his penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois; the return leg is in Madrid on March 9

Kylian Mbappe’s injury-time strike saw PSG beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at the Parc des Princes.

PSG had appeared to be heading for a frustrating goalless draw in the French capital after Lionel Messi saw his 62nd-minute penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois.

The visitors’ giant Belgian goalkeeper guessed correctly and dived low to his left to turn Messi’s spot-kick behind for a corner in what looked like being the pivotal moment of the tie.
