After the Hat-Trick: How Did Kylian Mbappé React to His Stellar Champions League Night?
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé commented on his dazzling performance in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, leading the Spanish giants to the Round of 16 with an impressive hat-trick against English powerhouse Manchester City.
Speaking after the match, Mbappé said, “It was a perfect night. We wanted to qualify. Real Madrid advancing to the Champions League Round of 16 feels logical.”
The French striker added, “We’re strong at home, and it’s great to make our fans happy.”
With a 3-2 victory in the first leg and a 3-1 win in the return leg, Real Madrid overcame the English champions with a 6-3 aggregate scoreline over the two matches.
Thanks to his three goals, Mbappé has now scored 7 goals in 10 Champions League matches this season, bringing his total to 27 goals across all competitions. The former Paris Saint-Germain star also celebrated his third hat-trick in the prestigious European tournament.
The reigning European champions, aiming to extend their record with a 16th title, will face either German side Bayer Leverkusen or local rivals Atlético Madrid in the next round. The Round of 16 draw is set to take place on Friday.
This defeat marks the first time Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has failed to guide his team to the Champions League Round of 16.
