Despite the fact that Mauro Icardi, Kylian Mbappe and Angel di Maria were on the field together for a total of 13 minutes, they managed to show the world just how devastating they can be when they are in sync.

Mbappe came on as a 52nd-minute substitute in place of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, with the scoreline then being 1-0. And Icardi was taken off in the 65th minute after PSG added two more goals to their tally.

Club Brugge had no idea how to stop the combination play between the three as they constantly changed positions and bamboozled the Belgian giants’ defence.

The trio were involved in two goals during the brief time they played together. While Mbappe headed home from close range after Di Maria’s effort was partially parried out by Simon Mignolet, Icardi completed a brace after latching on to a pass from the Frenchman.

Mbappe ended the night with three goals and an assist to his name, while Di Maria was directly involved in four goals despite not being on the scoresheet himself.
