Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

Ever since his sensational season for Monaco during the 2016/17 campaign, Kylian Mbappe has gone from strength to strength in his short and illustrious career. The 20-year-old has been in phenomenal form for Paris Saint-Germain and prolific in front of goal for the past couple of seasons.

The youngster was brilliant for France in the 2018 World Cup in Russia and led them to the title. In 27 Ligue 1 appearances this season, Kylian Mbappe has scored 30 goals and assisted seven more. He also scored four goals and assisted five more in the UEFA Champions League.

Despite his goal scoring exploits, PSG were eliminated by Manchester United in the UCL round of 16. They were also beaten in the Cup finals by Rennes but won the league title comfortably.
