On the opening day of the Champions League group stage, the stars are out—and that especially means generational stars Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.
Mbappé didn’t have to wait long to open his goalscoring account for this year’s Champions League campaign, scoring in the fifth minute on a highlight-reel goal that will be watched just as much for his technique as for Neymar’s assist.
At the edge of the penalty area, Neymar took a pass from Mbappé before looping the ball up and over the idle Juventus defense with a beautiful scoop that the French star lashed at with a one-time strike for the early lead.
