Watch: PSG star Mbappe scores at Real Madrid minutes after goal disallowed

Kylian Mbappe saw an opener against Real Madrid chalked off on Wednesday, but made up for it just minutes later by scoring a brilliant goal that did count.

The PSG star, who has been heavily linked with a switch to Madrid, beat Thibaut Courtois from a Nuno Mendes pass in the first half – only to see the linesman's flag go up after the ball hit the net.

Mbappe was not to be denied. Neymar found the France star just minutes later, and the forward rifled home a shot at the near post to open the scoring in the second leg of the last-16 second leg at Santiago Bernabeu.
