Mbappe’s impact on the game cannot be overstated. His clinical finishing and ability to create opportunities for his teammates were instrumental in PSG’s victory. As the French forward continues to shine on the biggest stage, it is no wonder that top clubs like Real Madrid are vying for his signature.
