Mbappé starts new Champions League campaign with a goal in Real Madrid victory
Associated PressMADRID — Kylian Mbappé renewed his quest to win a European title by scoring for Real Madrid in his first Champions League match with the club. “I’m feeling better match after match.” Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was named the man of the match as he was key to keep Stuttgart from capitalizing on its many scoring opportunities. Mbappé won the 2018 World Cup with France but failed to win the Champions League in the seven seasons with Paris Saint-Germain, which was also on a quest for its first title in Europe’s top club competition. The playmaker left PSG as a free agent at the end of last season to join Madrid following a decade-long pursuit by the Spanish powerhouse — a move could boost his chances of lifting the European trophy with the team that has won the Champions League six times in the last 11 years.
