A Real Madrid Legend Didn’t Even Wait Until the End of the Match: He Surrenders to Mbappé on Social Media

Real Madrid advanced to the Round of 16, while Manchester City was eliminated in a series that was completely dominated by Carlo Ancelotti’s team. The Madridistas outclassed Pep Guardiola’s squad in both matches.

The Manchester City team, unrecognizable, lacking energy, and trapped in a negative streak that has marked their entire season, never showed signs of recovery. That night, however, belonged to Kylian Mbappé, who finally shone in the Champions League, demolishing the Brits with a hat trick. This achievement, against a Pep Guardiola-led team, secures him a special place in the history of Madridismo.

KYLIAN MBAPPÉ, THE STAR OF THE NIGHT
The match did not start well for Pep Guardiola’s side, and Manchester City failed to react properly after the goal. Real Madrid, on the other hand, took their time, controlling the pace of the game with horizontal passes and even trying to surprise the opponent by playing with Courtois. However, when Carlo Ancelotti’s team decided to speed up the play, they did so with much greater intensity and danger, especially through Vinícius’ wing.

At the 33-minute mark, the second goal came from a stunning collective play that included a dribble by Rodrygo past Khusanov. The move was completed by Kylian Mbappé, who left Gvardiol out of position and shot powerfully past Ederson.

In the second half, the third goal came quickly, at the 61st minute, thanks to another individual play by Kylian Mbappé. The forward received a pass at the edge of the box, dribbled, and fired a powerful left-footed shot into the far post. The night had already turned into a full-blown celebration for Madrid.

MARCELO VIEIRA IS AMAZED BY MBAPPÉ
During the Real Madrid match, Marcelo Vieira posted several tweets on ‘X’ showing his astonishment at both the Madrid team’s performance and Kylian Mbappé’s play.

“How good it is to be from Real Madrid,” Marcelo Vieira commented initially. After Mbappé’s goals, the Brazilian, a Real Madrid legend, posted another tweet dedicated to the Frenchman: “Qu’est-ce que c’est mon frère” (What’s going on, my brother?).
