Champions League Night in France: Mbappé and Zoubir, Standout Performers for the Win
In the world of football, two intriguing stories unfolded this week. On one side, Kylian Mbappé continued his impressive form for Real Madrid, while on the other, Abdellah Zoubir led Karabakh to a stunning victory in the Champions League.
Real Madrid's Mbappé Dazzles in 2-1 Win
At the Santiago Bernabéu, Mbappé was the star of the show as Real Madrid edged past Olympique de Marseille. The French forward scored a brace, finding the back of the net from the penalty spot in the 29th and 81st minutes. Although he hit the crossbar in the 50th minute, Mbappé's impact was undeniable.
Aurélien Tchouaméni, too, put in a solid performance for Real Madrid, with a team-high 66 touches and 91% pass accuracy. However, he was cautioned for a studs-up challenge on Pierre-Emile Højbjerg in the 35th minute.
Karabakh's Zoubir Masterclass in Lisbon
Meanwhile, in the Champions League, Abdellah Zoubir was the architect of Karabakh's shock 2-3 victory against Benfica in Lisbon. The midfielder, who made his debut in the competition, didn't pose much threat but wasn't afraid to face a European football giant like Benfica.
Zoubir was instrumental in the match, with 16 passes in the final third and a high pass success rate of 93.9% (46/49 successful passes). He also set up Oleksii Kashchuk's decisive goal in the 87th minute.
Khephren Thuram had a chance to score in the 4th minute against Borussia Dortmund but was denied by Gregor Kobel. Thuram's back pass didn't profit Kenan Yildiz, who hit the post in the 80th minute against Dortmund.
Pierre Kalulu had a notable performance for Juve in a different match. Initially appearing cautious in his role as a right central defender for Juve's three-man defense, Kalulu grew into the game, providing a decisive cross for Dusan Vlahovic's second goal (90+4').
This article does not provide specific facts about Dusan Vlahovic's first goal or any other goals scored by Karabakh or Benfica in the match.
In the end, both Mbappé and Zoubir showcased their talent and determination in their respective matches, providing exciting moments for football fans around the world.
