The stage he once dreamed of is now bowing down before him. If there were any doubts, Kylian Mbappe proved tonight that he has the class to shine at Real Madrid.

The much-anticipated derby in the Champions League playoffs saw Real Madrid dominate Manchester City with a commanding 3:1 victory, with every goal coming from the French maestro.

Each goal was a work of art—he lobbed Ederson for the first, skillfully outmaneuvered Joško Guardiola for the second, and capped it off with a precise shot past several City defenders for the third.

“This is why Mbappe came to Madrid,” stated Marca.

Manchester City only managed a consolation goal from Nick Gonzalez in the 91st minute.

It’s been a disastrous outing for Serie A in the playoffs—following Milan and Atalanta, Juventus also faced elimination. The impressive PSV outperformed the “Bianconeri,” securing a 3:1 win in the second leg and overturning a 2:1 deficit from the first leg.

The team from Philips opened the scoring with a spectacular goal by Ivan Perišić, but Juve equalized thanks to a thunderous strike from Timoti Vea. The decisive extra-time goal was scored by Ismail Saibari.

In the extended 30 minutes, Peter Bosz’s team showed greater precision, and the goal that “Philips Arena” had been longing for came in the 98th minute when Ryan Flamingo found the net.

As a result, the teams from the Dutch Eredivisie triumphed over their Serie A rivals with a scoreline of 2:0, following Milan’s earlier defeat to Feyenoord.

In a match where the outcome was known from the first encounter, PSG thoroughly humiliated Brest with a 7:0 victory, ending the aggregate 10:0.
