When the match looked like it would end in a 0-0 draw, Kylian Mbappe appeared as the host’s savior. His action in the last minute led to the goal that won PSG.
This result is a valuable asset for PSG to face the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on March 9.
The course of the match
PSG tried to control the game after the start. Within five minutes, Mbappe stabbed down the left and then sent a pass that was snatched by Angel Di Maria. But the situation ended with the ball darting over the goal.
Good chance for PSG in the 18th minute! Nuno Mendes’ breakthrough bait was received by Mbappe who escaped on the left side in the penalty box. It’s just that the trick can still be driven by Thibaut Courtois with his feet!
In the 22nd minute, Mendes’ attempt to send in a cross from the left instead sent the ball straight into the goal. Courtois was quick to overcome it, even though the ball had slipped at the first opportunity.
PSG performed well to contain and cut Madrid’s attacks. The visitors have practically not had time to do much when they have the ball.
Lionel Messi tried to stab from the right in the 32nd minute. However his shot, which was likely intended as a pass, ended up wide on the left of the goal without being greeted by anyone.
PSG launched a counter-attack in the 43rd minute led by Messi. He passed to Mbappe on the left, who then tried to push through the middle. But his attempt to send a pass to the right was blocked.
Chance for Madrid in the last minute of the first half from a corner. Casemiro’s header glided thinly to the left of the goal. The first half ended goalless.
PSG started the second half with a direct kick. Building an organized attack in front of the penalty box, Achraf Hakimi’s thrust was well controlled by Mbappe. He finished with a hard low shot, but was parried by Courtois.
Another opportunity in the 53rd minute from PSG. Messi’s curling kick from outside the penalty box welcomed a pass from Mbappe ending in the hands of Courtois.
Penalty for PSG in the 60th minute! Mbappe stabbed and propped up by Daniel Carvajal. Messi stepped up as the executor and directed the shot into the bottom right corner, but it was read by Courtois and missed!

Neymar’s stab in the 74th minute resulted in a free kick not too far in front of the Real Madrid penalty box. Messi took the opportunity and his shot was wide to the left of the goal.
The next pressure from PSG three minutes later. Mbappe accepted Messi’s thrust on the left, then directed a curling shot at Madrid’s goal. The ball passed Courtois but ended up on the right side of the goal.
This time Neymar escaped in the 86th minute and got a pass from Messi on the right side. However, the finishing of the opportunity was poor, with the ball failing to reach the goal or to a friend.
GOAL! PSG scored a goal in the 94th minute aka the last minute of injury time. Receiving Neymar’s pass down the left, Mbappe passed Eder Militao and Lucas Vazquez, then his shot ended in the bottom right corner of the net.
The long whistle sounded not long after, PSG 1-0 Madrid.
