Unstoppable Mbappe: Stepover, nutmeg and goal for 1-0 lead over Lille

PSG returned to Ligue 1 by taking on Lille at the Parc des Princes. After their Champions League round of 16 first-leg defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich, the French side got off to the best possible start against their opponents.

It was the eleventh minute when Kylian Mbappe once again proved that he is one of the best players in the world. The Bondy-born player received the ball on the left flank and drove it until he was inside the box and dribbled past two opposing defenders. 

The Frenchman then breezed past the first with a stepover and, with the second one well on top of him, the Frenchman pulled off a left-footed nutmeg to get in between the two of them. Now unmarked, he slotted the ball underneath the keeper.

A truly superb goal that was not the only one in the first-half, as his team-mate Neymar joined the party six minutes later after a good team play. The Brazilian only had to tap it home to make it 2-0 in the 17th minute.
