Kylian Mbappé has been named the Champions League ‘Player of the Week’ following his brilliant four-goal performance that helped Real Madrid secure a 4–3 victory over Olympiacos on Wednesday night.
The French superstar engraved his name in the record books with the second-fastest hat-trick in Champions League history, scoring three times in just six minutes and 42 seconds during the first half to turn the match around against the resilient Greek hosts.
After going behind early in a match that marked Real Madrid’s fifth attempt at a win away to Olympiacos, Mbappé’s clinical finishing — capped off with a fourth goal — finally broke their resistance and ended a disappointing run of three games without a victory in all competitions, giving Xabi Alonso’s side a much-needed boost.
