Kylian Mbappé: If you had told Monaco they would be heading home with three away goals three weeks ago, they'd have been happy. Yet somehow, they still enter this second-leg two goals down.
Having scored one of the Ligue 1 side's three and being hailed as the new Thierry Henry, Kylian Mbappé will have to produce if his team are to have a chance.
Best stat...
18: Mbappé fired his strike into the roof of the net as if he’d been doing for years, was it not only his first Champions League start but also being the envious age of 18, in contrast to his finish .

Monaco have done it! De Bruyne's wasted free-kick is the last attack of the match. Manchester City arrived in Monaco with a 5-3 aggregate lead but conceded three times and have exited the Champions League in the Round of 16 stage.
