PSG's Mbappe endured a nightmare evening as his club won against Montpellier

It was a horrible night for Kylian Mbappé this Wednesday in the match against Montpellier where his side won by 3-1. The star forward of Paris Saint-Germain missed two penalties in the first 10 minutes of the match and had to retire injured shortly after, unfortunately, the alarms go off 13 days after the game first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Bayern Munich.

In the 20th minute, 24-year-old striker Mbappé received a blow to the thigh after a foul by an opponent and had to take away from the pitch, replaced by the young Hugo Ekitike. The television cameras showed the French striker touching himself behind the thigh of his left leg, in a typical gesture of a muscle injury, when he was leaving for the changing rooms

Before, Mbappé had missed two penalties: the first was thrown to the right of Benjamin Lecompte and the goalkeeper signed a week ago from Spanish Club RCD Espanyol saved him with a great stretch.

Two minutes later, Mbappé executed to the other side, but Lecompte again guessed the trajectory of the ball to touch it just enough and it crashed into the post. Half an hour into the game, it was the Spanish central defender Sergio Ramos who had to leave the field after receiving a blow to the head. The game is still being played at the moment, having a catastrophic half-time for the visitors from Paris.

When is the Champions League round of 16 played?

The round of 16 of the Champions League will begin on February 14, 2023, exactly with the teams PSG and Bayern Munich as protagonists. Following this, the runner-up striker in the world will have two weeks to recover and not have any complications for this match, remembering that the Champions League is one of the cups that he still does not have in his possession and he dreams of winning it.
