Champions League 2016/17: AS Monaco 3-1 Borussia Dortmund, 5 Talking Points

Even after the first goal, Monaco refused to sit back

#2 Kylian Mbappe makes history

Kylian Mbappe
Mbappe is rapidly gaining a reputation around Europe as the hottest young prospect

French forward Kylian Mbappe is rapidly gaining a reputation around Europe as the hottest young prospect. At the tender age of just 18-years, Mbappe has used the Champions League to showcase his talent to the world with some sublime finishing, swift movements and incredible composure.

How did Mbappe make history? The France international became the first player in the history of UEFA competition to score in his first four successive knock-out games. The player added to his tally of goals scored in the reverse leg against Dortmund last Tuesday and his goals in both legs against Manchester City.

One thing is for certain, Leonardo Jardim will face the arduous task of attempting to keep control of their star forward as he is likely to attract interest from European football's elite.
