Every time he scores in bursts like that it really does sound like a robot booting up, crowd noise changes, defenders back off, whole stadium feels different
You could see Olympiacos had never dealt with that much space on their own ground, Madrid kept finding gaps and once Mbappe smelled blood it was finished.
my Celtic mates still bring up that seven one at Ibrox like it was yesterday, Salah and that team live rent free in their heads and Rangers fans at the same time.
only mo started this whole weird stat obsession, now every time someone scores quickly the first reaction is to check where it sits next to Salah on the list.
That Rangers match really was a beautiful second half of football, even neutrals loved it, this Mbappe show felt similar in that everything just clicked for one side.
Fans have tiny memory in general, one quiet month at Madrid and suddenly Mbappe was a failure, then he scores three in six minutes and they act like they never said it.
You even see it in the odds, a bad week from a star and his price drifts like he forgot how to play, then a big Champions League night and everything snaps back instantly.
From a tactics side he clearly makes Madrid more dangerous, even if the first months were clunky, once runs and passes sync up defenders have no real answer.
