On the stroke of halftime Paris Saint-Germain superstar produced a moment of magic to trick his way past Napoli defenders before assisting Juan Bernat, who scored his goal for the club and how important it could prove to be.
Mbappe received the ball on the left-wing and turned Napoli defender Raul Albiol inside and out before passing the ball into the box and Juan Bernat magnificently controlled the ball and finished on his weaker foot despite being surrounded by 6 Napoli players.
