Champions League: PSG 1-0 Real Madrid
Mbappe gives Parisiens last 16 edge

Kylian Mbappe’s 94th-minute strike handed Paris Saint-Germain a valuable 1-0 win against Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie at the Parc des Princes.

Iran PressEurope: Mbappe, widely reported to be set for a summer move to Real, fired home from a tight angle in the fourth minute of added time to give PSG a deserved advantage.

The winner was set up by Neymar, who had stepped off the bench as a second-half replacement for Angel Di Maria in his first appearance since November.

Mbappe’s last-gasp effort also spared Lionel Messi’s blushes after his second-half penalty had been saved by Thibault Courtois.

PSG, who lost in the semi-finals to Manchester City last season and were beaten in the 2020 final by Bayern Munich, dominated at the Parc des Princes, but failed to make all their pressure tell.
