Mbappe beats Lenglet and fires past Ter Stegen to level scores

The equalising goal in the Champions League tie between Barcelona and PSG at the Camp Nou came thanks to Mbappe. Pochettino's star striker appeared when he was needed most shortly after Messi put Barca ahead from the penalty spot. 

After a cross into the area from Barca, Verratti used the inside of his right foot to stroke the ball into Ter Stegen's net. Kylian was ready to do damage and, after a rebound, he reacted much faster than Lenglet. 

He beat the Frenchman with an important cutback to become one on one with Ter Stegen who, after initially feigning to shoot, beat him with a high shot. Mbappe knew that the goalie had no chance of stopping a powerful and high shot. 

Shortly afterwards, Ter Stegen made a great stop to prevent it being 1-2. On this occasion, the Frenchman hit a low shot also from inside the area, but he was denied by the keeper's superb reflexes.
