Kylian Mbappé rose above the Neymar-Cavani drama to destroy Bayern Munich’s defence and proclaim his status as the best young player in the world. Together with Miguel Delaney who was there to see it in person we look back on an amazing night of football in Paris.

We also hear from Kieran Canning who saw Chelsea’s superb win away to Atletico Madrid.
