With Lionel Messi being the playmaker of that play, Mbappe was in a better position to pass the ball to Neymar who could have guided it home but instead the Frenchman went for glory given that he was on a hat-trick. Neymar was left disappointed by the 23-year-old’s decision to shoot instead of passing the ball to him.
At 23 years and 260 days, Mbappe became the youngest player to score 35 goals in Europe’s top club competition, taking the record away from his teammate Lionel Messi, who was 47 days older when he reached that milestone. PSG had never beaten Juventus in eight previous meetings. But their last matchup dated back to 1997, and the tide has now turned in favor of the French league champions and their armada of world-class players. Mbappe and his teammates were in total control throughout the first half, with Neymar and Messi putting on an exquisite show of dribbles and passes.
