MBAPPE STORMS THROUGH AS MADRID KNOCK OUT MAN CITY
Kylian Mbappe was the star of the show on Wednesday, netting a brilliant hat-trick to lead Real Madrid to a 3-1 victory over Manchester City, sending Pep Guardiola's side out of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League.
The French forward opened the scoring just four minutes in, finishing off a stunning lob after a precise long ball from Marco Asensio. Mbappe doubled his tally before halftime with a clinical strike, displaying exquisite footwork in the box before firing past Ederson from close range.
The 25-year-old completed his hat-trick in the second half with a well-placed, curling shot, sealing Madrid's dominance and virtually securing their place in the last 16.
Man City pulled one back late with a consolation goal from Nico Gonzalez, who scored his first for the club by tapping into an empty net after Omar Marmoush's free-kick hit the crossbar.
