<p>Real Madrid superstar Mbappe was back among the goals during his latest Champions League appearance. The World Cup winner netted Los Blancos’ first of the night as they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-kryptonite-real-madrid-champions-league-record-last-ditch-winner-pep-guardiola/blt8872fac34772c9a8" target="_blank">claimed a dramatic 3-2 win at the Etihad Stadium</a>.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">💫 And just like that, another epic Champions League night began! 💫<br>👉 <a href="https://twitter.com/KMbappe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KMbappe</a> <a href="https://t.co/fDCwGM0vhI">pic.twitter.com/fDCwGM0vhI</a></p>— Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) <a href="https://twitter.com/realmadriden/status/1889796625096384649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 12, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mbappe’s strike, which came on the hour mark and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-all-day-thierry-henry-admits-he-d-prefer-to-coach-real-madrid-star-over-erling-haaland-more-talent-than-man-city-frontman/bltef59173e9e593dc9" target="_blank">cancelled out Erling Haaland’s opener for the hosts</a>, had more than a touch of good fortune about it. The Frenchman did not make the cleanest of contacts as he lined up a spectacular scissor kick.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The ball was, however, to end up in the top corner as it skewed off Mbappe’s shin and looped beyond Ederson. Former Liverpool and Tottenham striker Crouch hit a few like that himself during his playing days and has posted on social media alongside images of Mbappe emulating his efforts: "Can’t teach it."</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Can’t teach it <a href="https://t.co/l3HWCXY2ZX">pic.twitter.com/l3HWCXY2ZX</a></p>— Peter Crouch (@petercrouch) <a href="https://twitter.com/petercrouch/status/1890132555846021387?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 13, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT PETER CROUCH SAID

<p>Jude Bellingham went on to grab a 92nd-minute winner for Real against City, as they took control of a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/champions-league-2024-25-power-rankings/bltf41e9a385718e265" target="_blank">heavyweight Champions League knockout phase play-off</a>.
