Kylian Mbappé

further established himself as the future top star of world football with a hat-trick against

Barça

in the Champions League.

Something that only two players had been able to achieve before:

Faustino Asprilla

, for

Newcastle

, and

Andrei Shevchenko

, for

Dynamo Kiev

.

The Ukrainian was the last to get it.

And, so far, the only one to achieve it at the Camp Nou.

On November 5, 1997, it was

Vitor Baia

who, like Ter Stegen, was beaten up to four times.

Piqué

, who reappeared three months after being injured, could only avoid one clear chance for the Frenchman.

The other three ended up kissing the net.

"

I do not play to shut our mouths

, but for the pleasure of playing," said the Frenchman on television as soon as the game ended.

It is very clear that his talent is enormous.

But that, nevertheless, has not prevented a multitude of criticism from falling on him.

Something that, in your case, fits as something that is part of the game.

"You do not have to take criticism personally. All players are criticized, even the greatest in history," said a Mbappé who, despite the forcefulness of 1-4, did not want to finish the task .

"I am very happy, although

we have not qualified yet

. We still have half the work left," he said.

Neymar, out due to injury, did not hesitate to praise him.

"Mbappé, playing a lot ...

My child's hat-trick,

" the Brazilian wrote on his social networks.

Before, he had complained about the penalty awarded to De Jong, but was quick to erase it.

The interest of Madrid

Mbappé's performance caused speculation about a

possible arrival at Real Madrid to

unleash again

.

Something that PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino tried hard to rule out.

"

I don't think anyone has discovered Kylian for this game

. He is a world star and I think he is happy at our club," said the Argentine in the first instance.

"It is normal, he

is a world class player

, top. There will always be rumors with this type of footballer. He already said that he is happy in Paris and we are calm. The most important thing now is to focus on working and achieving the goals that the club is has raised, "he insisted.

Pochettino did not want to close the tie, despite the result.

Koeman

, without throwing in the towel, instead admitted that it's almost impossible.

"

Comeback is very complicated

. I could lie, but losing 1-4 at home there are very few options," he said.

"

The second part was a reality check

. We must admit that they have been superior, they have shown to have a more complete team than ours and we must accept it," he concluded.
