@yosoyfuentes:

"World-class goal from a world-class player"

@Bloke_On_A_Bike:

"Bloody hell this match was boring but Kylian Mbappé moment of brilliance saves"

@MarkaMarkaa:

"#PSGRMA man of the match for PSG is definitely Veratti. He was absolutely amazing and correct me if I am wrong but seems he is in his peak this season and overall one of the 5 best midfielders this season in Europe. Just amazing and underrated this guy"

@chandannjr:

"Thibaut Courtois and him conceding goals by getting nutmegged, amazing love story it has been."

@maetzeee:

"This is one of the most boring games I've ever watched. Low quality on both sides. #PSGRMA"

@ManuelVeth:

"I really feel I should have watched Man City instead. #PSGRMA has been very disappointing, tons of individual talent on the field but there is almost no cohesion from a tactical perspective from either #PSG or Real Madrid."

Paris Saint Germain edged Real Madrid 1-0 in a pulsating UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg encounter on Tuesday, February 15 at the Parc des Princes, France, Sports Brief earlier reported.

It was Kylian Mbappe who got the winner with a brilliant goal in stoppage time to give his side an advantage over the 13-time Champions League winners. The hosts were thoroughly dominant, particularly in possession, but somehow failed to break down the Spanish giants for large parts of the game.

It also looked like it was going to be one of those frustrating nights for Mauricio Pochettino’s side as Lionel Messi saw his low penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois just after the hour mark. Mbappe, a summer target for Real Madrid, was the standout player throughout the game and had a hand in the concession of the penalty.
