The second half belonged to Mbappé.Just minutes after the restart,he combined brilliantly with Messi again,this time providing a pinpoint cross for the Argentine maestro to convert.
Mbappé’s crowning moment arrived shortly after. His exquisite outside-of-the-foot pass found Danilo at the far post, who calmly slotted the ball home. This masterful assist effectively sealed the victory for PSG, leaving Saint-Etienne with little hope of a comeback.
PSG continued to press forward, creating numerous scoring opportunities and showcasing their attacking prowess. Mbappé, who was substituted to a standing ovation, concluded his performance with another stellar display, leaving Real Madrid with a chilling reminder of his capabilities ahead of their upcoming Champions League encounter.
With this convincing win, PSG reaffirms their position as Ligue 1 frontrunners, while Mbappé continues his remarkable form, sending a clear message to the football world.
