Kylian Mbappe netted the winning goal in stoppage time as Paris Saint Germain edged out Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League Round-of-16 first leg here on Tuesday.

Mbappe came up with a brilliant solo effort, dribbling past a couple of Real defenders before slotting the ball between goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois’ legs.

On a night when the home team dominated, Lionel Messi missed a penalty and did not have his best of matches.

In Lisbon, Manchester City delivered a stunning performance to crush Sporting 5-0. Bernardo Silva bagged a first-half brace while Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling struck a goal apiece in the lop-sided first leg.
