Mbappe’s goal was PSG’s quickest in the Champions League since Edinson Cavani scored against Arsenal in September 2016.

It didn’t take long for Mbappe to score again, volleying home Angel Di Maria’s pass to double PSG’s lead after only six minutes and 23 seconds.

That was the second-fastest brace by a player from the start of a Champions League match, trailing only Rodrygo, who scored twice for Real Madrid against Galatasary in November 2019.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
