Meanwhile, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand commented on Kylian Mbappé’s remarkable goal against Manchester City during the UEFA Champions League playoff.

Ferdinand highlighted how Mbappé skillfully maneuvered past defender Josko Gvardiol, demonstrating quick thinking and agility.

Mbappé’s hat-trick helped Real Madrid achieve a 3-1 victory over City at the Santiago Bernabeu, resulting in a 6-3 aggregate win, following a 3-2 victory in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium.

His impressive play involved picking up the ball from the City defense, using a clever dummy to outmaneuver Gvardiol before calmly slotting it past keeper Ederson.

Reacting to this stunning goal, Ferdinand expressed his admiration during TNT Sports’ commentary: “Mbappe, that is wonderful, devastating.

“He has absolutely laid the defender down on the floor and said, “Sit down there and watch me slot this home”.

“This goal is all about Kylian Mbappe. He laid him out. He might as well have got him a pillow to lie on there.”
