Paris Saint-Germain was about to head into their first-leg against Real Madrid on a sour night. The capital club was in a 0-0 match against Stade Rennais, with a few minutes left in stoppage time.

Following a clearance from Nuno Mendes, Mauro Icardi would secure the loose ball and would pass it to Messi, who would connect with Kylian Mbappé. The 23-year-old had enough space following Icardi’s run into the box to calculate his shot which would get by Doğan Alemdar.
