It was supposed to be a magical night at the Allianz Arena, but Real Madrid entered this hostile ground chasing a Champions League comeback that slipped away in the final moments of the quarterfinal second leg.
In that electric atmosphere, Kylian Mbappé once again delivered, scoring one of the three goals for the Spanish side – even though they were ultimately eliminated. His performance allowed him to match some of the greatest goal scorers in Champions League history.
After finding the net, the French star reached 15 goals in the Champions League, becoming one of the top scorers in a single season and joining elite company alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski, and Karim Benzema.
