Kylian Mbappe bagged an outrageous solo goal on his return to the PSG side against Montpellier tonight.
Having been sidelined recently due to a hamstring problem, the French boy-wonder opened the scoring in the French Cup semi-final this evening.
The hosts levelled just before half-time through Gaetan Laborde but Mbappe restored PSG's lead early on in the second half in sensational fashion.
Fed down the left, he displayed incredible speed and skill to destroy his opposition in a 1v1 duel.
Mbappe performed his trademark stepovers in rapid time to work the opening before finishing emphatically.

Overjoyed with the worldie he had just scored, the former Monaco man ran over to manager Mauricio Pochettino and embraced the Argentine.
Late on, Andy Delort struck for Montpellier but PSG went on to win 5-6 on penalties. Moise Kean scored the decisive spot-kick to send the Parisiens through to the final.
Mbappe was substituted before the penalty shoot-out but made sure he consoled Montpellier's Junior Sambia at the end after he missed from 12 yards.
Following his brace tonight, Mbappe has hit a quite ridiculous 39 goals in 44 games for the season and is one of the leading contenders for the 2021 Ballon d'Or.
