Mbappe saves PSG

PARIS, Feb 16 (AP): After teammate Lionel Messi missed a penalty, Kylian Mbappe saved his team again by scoring a brilliant solo goal deep into stoppage time as Paris Saint-Germain beat Real Madrid 1-0 in their Champions League last-16 match on Tuesday.

Mbappe has rescued PSG many times with late goals in the French league this season - as recently as last Friday - and he did so again on the biggest stage.

After taking a back-heeled pass from substitute Neymar in the fourth and final minute of stoppage time of the first leg, Mbappe cut inside two players down the left and shot the ball between the legs of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

"I got free and then it's a one on one. The forward is always the master of the penalty area when the defenders start backing off," Mbappe said. "I decided where I wanted to go."
