Fans are left purring after 'insane' Mbappe goal gives PSG lead over Juventus

  /  autty

Fans have been left purring after Kylian Mbappe and Neymar linked up to score a thrilling goal and give PSG the lead against Juventus this evening.

After the Frenchman received the ball form Vitinha, he played a neat give-and-go with Neymar, before firing past Gianluigi Donnarumma on the volley to put his side 1-0 up.

The link up served as a reminder of how deadly the duo can be after they fell out over a penalty dispute earlier this season, but they now seem to be back on the same page as the French champions aim to finally win the Champions League.

Mbappe, who almost left PSG for Real Madrid at the start of the summer before signing a new deal, has already scored nine goals this season in just six games.

Neymar himself has scored seven goals in seven games, also clocking six assists in the meantime.

Fans were left excited after the goal, praising the PSG duo before looking towards the future.

'Ridiculous,' replied @haydenorr.

'This is insane,' quoted @DeanOverton.

'Haaland vs Mbappe.... This rivalry will be inevitable.' said one user after Erling Haaland also netted on matchday one of this year's Champions League.

'People spent the summer talking about Mbappe like he is a nobody. He is going to be a top 10 player when it’s all said and done,' added another.

PSG have had their eyes on winning the Champions League for over a decade now after winning the French league title in eight of the last ten years.

They're yet to win Europe's most prestigious competition, but are once again among the favourites and have put down a stern marker this evening.

56-year-old manager Christophe Galtier is the latest person appointed to deliver the goods in what is a competition that seems to be getting stronger by the year.
