Mbappe Fires On Un-Real Endrick Debut; Kane Breaks Rooney's Record: 3 Things Learned From Champions ...
Paris Saint-Germain's 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League was overshadowed by Kylian Mbappe's comments about Endrick after the match. The 23-year-old Frenchman, who scored the only goal of the game, said that the 16-year-old Brazilian "has something special" and that he is "one of the best young players in the world."
On the same night, Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane broke Wayne Rooney's record for the most goals scored for England. Kane scored his 53rd goal for his country in a 2-0 win over Albania, moving him ahead of Rooney's 53 goals.
Here are three things we learned from Tuesday's Champions League action:
1. Mbappe thinks Endrick is special.
Mbappe's comments about Endrick after the game were glowing. The Frenchman said that the young Brazilian "has something special" and that he is "one of the best young players in the world." Endrick has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the future, and his performance against PSG only served to increase the speculation. The 16-year-old was a constant threat to the PSG defense, and he nearly scored a goal in the first half. Endrick's performance was even more impressive considering that he was playing against one of the best teams in the world.
2. Kane is now England's all-time top scorer.
Kane's goal against Albania was his 53rd for England, moving him ahead of Wayne Rooney's 53 goals. Kane is now the all-time top scorer for his country, and he is still only 29 years old. He has a chance to add to his tally in England's next game against San Marino. Kane's achievement is a testament to his goalscoring prowess. He is one of the best strikers in the world, and he has been consistently scoring goals for England for over a decade.
3. Haaland continues to score for Manchester City.
Erling Haaland scored his 18th goal for Manchester City in their 4-1 win over Club Brugge. The Norwegian striker has now scored in each of his first six games for City, and he is showing no signs of slowing down. Haaland is one of the most prolific strikers in the world, and he is quickly becoming a fan favorite at the Etihad Stadium. City will be hoping that Haaland can continue his goalscoring form as they look to win the Premier League title this season.
