PSG were already 1-0 up through Ousmane Dembele when Mbappe found the back of the net midway through the first half against Lorient. The French superstar met a ball in from the left and produced a flicked finish that flew past the goalkeeper to make it 2-0. On first viewing it seemed a wonderful effort, but slow-motion replays suggested Mbappe may have got a bit lucky.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">This flick from Kylian Mbappe 🤯 Did he mean it? 👀 📺 <a href="https://twitter.com/tntsports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@tntsports</a> &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/discoveryplusUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@discoveryplusUK</a> <a href="https://t.co/G8ZAwM6yCD">pic.twitter.com/G8ZAwM6yCD</a>— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) <a href="https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1783185738521018689?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 24, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mbappe's goal left viewers baffled and certainly not convinced his flick had been intentional.Football fan <a href="https://twitter.com/HodgeLuke">@HodgeLuke</a> wrote on X: "Not in a million years did he mean that!"Another supporter, <a href="https://twitter.com/PaulTheFace_">@PaulTheFace_</a> , added: "He meant that about as much as Ben White meant that volley last night."Arsenal fan @stuafc71 also compared the goal to Ben White's finish against Chelsea: "What a cheeky back flick goal from mbappe. If he meant that Benny blanco defo meant his goal v Chelsea."However, Mbappe fan <a href="https://twitter.com/Tezzathekchen">@Tezzathekchen</a> was convinced by the PSG forward: "Brilliant Mbappe backheel goal! He starts the move with a good pass to the wings and then displays his GOAT tier movement, anticipation and finishing!"<div></div><div></div>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

Mbappe followed up his goal with a brilliant assist for Dembele to score his second of the match. The striker nutmegged his defender down the left flank before sliding a ball across goal for the former Barca star to tap home. Mbappe would make it a brace later in the game, making the score 4-1 on the night. Luis Enrique's side will be crowned champions on Wednesday if Monaco fail to beat Lille in the later kick-off.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Mbappe has become the first French player in history to score 25 goals in four consecutive seasons in Europe's top five leagues.
