  • FLICK’s TRICK

    All good things must come to an end!

  • KYLER BLOW

    KYLIAN MBAPPE struck twice against Bayern Munich as PSG avenged last year’s heartbreak in a Champions League epic.

    In a repeat of the final eight months ago, the German giants and reigning champions were 2-0 down inside 30 minutes as the Parisians smelt blood.

    Neymar – who was in tears on the pitch in Lisbon – was the first leg orchestrator, providing assists for Mbappe and Marquinhos.

    Bayern fought their way back either side of the break in the absence of 42-goal Robert Lewandowski thanks to Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Thomas Muller.

    But French superstar Mbappe had the last laugh with a 68th-minute winner for Mauricio Pochettino’s men at a snowy Allianz.
