They believed until the end: in a match of the Champions League badly engaged, Kylian Mbappé and the Parisians snatched a happy draw (2-2) ignoring a disputed decision of the referee, penalty and cardboard red hissed against Real Madrid and finally canceled.

With coolness, the prodigy Bondy (20 years) weighed 90 minutes on the meeting, and especially scored the goal to reduce the gap to 2-1 against Real Tuesday, before the equalizer of Pablo Sarabia after a clever move by Neymar, who let the ball pass between his legs.

Mbappé, holder, and Neymar, entered during the game, were decisive for Paris, and managed to erase the brilliant doubled of Karim Benzema in the form of his career, and still sparkling Tuesday night.

Against the club that makes him dream since any kid, Kylian Mbappé did not miss his entry. And the Santiago-Bernabeu stadium, which has been keeping his eyes soft for several months, is not ready to forget the realism and speed of execution of the young world champion.

While Real Madrid coach Zinédine Zidane said he was "in love with him for a long time," Mbappé did not let himself be impressed, and nearly collided with one of his idols. youth (with Cristiano Ronaldo, also ex-Madrilenian), trying to save a ball that escaped to the bench Madrid, in the first period.

For his 100th game with PSG in all competitions, the striker reduced the score for PSG, well served in the box by Thomas Meunier, after a terrible error Courtois and Raphael Varane (81).

"It's hard to imagine a future in Paris Saint-Germain without Kylian Mbappé," defender Marquinhos said in a press conference on Monday, adding "same for Neymar". After this mini-up against the Madrid ogre, it's all the more true.

- Neymar knows how to be forgiven -

Decisive as the prodigy of Bondy, the Brazilian Neymar, booed and hissed at his coming into play after the break by the Paris fans at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, managed to be forgiven his bad game and his rebellious attitude against Lille, Friday in Ligue 1, signing a class performance and letting the ball equalized to Sarabia (83).

Really, he knows how to redeem himself: the Brazilian, already heckled, insulted by the Parc des Princes in September when he returned to the ranks of Paris, after the negotiations of the summer with FC Barcelona for a possible return to Catalonia, had finished to be cheered by the whole stadium against Strasbourg, when he had offered the victory to PSG a return to acrobatics (1-0).

No gesture of this class Tuesday, but the Bernabeu is not yet ready to forget his executioners. While he had the game in hand, the Real let slip the match, manhandled by the speed and the realism of the Paris counter, led by their two stars.

Especially, Mbappé and Neymar managed to forget the red card attributed to the merengue goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and the penalty kicked in favor of PSG by the referee just before the break, canceled after consulting the video assistance.

A terrible twist that had resurfaced the worst memories of eliminations on contentious penaltys in the knockout stages of the Champions League, in March against Manchester United and in 2018 against the same Real Madrid ... Even the nightmare of the famous "remontada", and the controversial penalty awarded to Luis Suarez.

Fortunately for the Parisians, two stars are there to erase their nightmares and lead them to their best dreams.
