Kylian Mbappe masterclass against Barcelona

The youngster absolutely ran riot as he landed a hat-trick at the Nou Camp. Three goals from the former Monaco star and a goal from Moise Kean saw the French giants run away with the game. Obviously, things cannot be said before the round of 16 tie completes but as of now they look comfortable.

The French youngster caused havoc for Barca’s backline throughout the game. He landed the equalizer by easily going past Lenglet and Pique was not something Barca fans wanted to witness. He then went on to score two more. This performance was arguably one of the best individual performances the Nou Camp has ever seen and coming especially from a 22-year-old, one can only appreciate.

Mbappe’s hattrick is the first hattrick scored against Barca in the knockout stages of the Champions League since 1997, when the French youngster wasn’t even born.
