Paris Saint Germain: Kylian Mbappe scored twice against one of his former clubs as Real Madrid eased past Monaco 6-1 at home to boost its chances of finishing in the top eight of the Champions League league phase.

The striker, who began his career at Monaco, put Real Madrid ahead after five minutes with a clinical finish from a through ball by Fede Valverde, before sliding in at the far post 20 minutes later to make it 2-0 at halftime.

Franco Mastantuono added a third in the 51st minute as Monaco left big gaps at the back, and Thilo Kehrer then turned the ball into his own net. Vinicius Junior made it 5-0 and Jude Bellingham added a sixth after Jordan Teze pulled a goal back for Monaco.
