Champions League
Teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe has a message for Europe following Paris Saint-Germain's resounding Champions League victory against Bayern Munich: PSG is just getting started. Mbappe, Neymar and Edinson Cavani starred as PSG laid down a marker with a 3-0 win over the reigning Bundesliga champions in Paris on Wednesday.

Cavani and Neymar were on target after Dani Alves opened the scoring inside two minutes but Mbappe, 18, stole the show with his dazzling display against the Germans. Mbappe — on loan deal from Monaco — teed up Cavani just past the half-hour mark before terrorising David Alaba as Neymar netted PSG's third in the second half. "The story is just the beginning," Mbappe was quoted saying by Goal.com. "We knew that we had to put in a great performance against a great team. "We did that. Expectations were high, which is normal after a summer transfer window like ours. It was a complete performance. We are here to win every game."
