Mauricio Pochettino earned his first win as Paris Saint-Germain manager as Kylian Mbappe produced a magical moment show-casing why he is the best young-talent.
As the score was poised at 1-0 as it entered the final ten minutes on Saturday evening, Mbappe showcased some of the most spendthrift weapons in his armory by making a mesmerizing run that eventually led to PSG's second goal.
The 22-year-old had two defenders blocking his path into the area, but it mattered not. A quick-witted, dazzling slalom, featuring stepovers, fake shots and a nutmeg, saw Mbappe move past both players in the blinking of an eye before he simple passed the ball for Icardi to emphatically fire beyond the goalkeeper.
Watch the extravagant run by Kylian Mbappe against Brest that led to the 2nd goal:
It was the type of moment that reminded us of why Mbappe is regarded as a potential heir to the Ronaldo and Messi dynasty.
The 39-cap France international now has 14 goals and eight assists to his name from 20 appearances this season.
Pochettino will surely be relishing the opportunity to work with Mbappe in the coming months and years.
