I like it because Real Madrid won not because of Mbappe's style that seemed like a hero, but yes, a hattrick in the match against Manchester City is certainly a source of pride for every player who plays, it is his best record so far in the champions league with Real Madrid.

I admit that the hattrick that Mbappe got like his own efforts but all of that was also the contribution of other players. If we compare the skill between Mbappe and Vinicius, Vinic is actually much better in terms of skill. But in yesterday's match Mbappe looked smarter looking for an empty place to score. But all of that is not important and the most important thing is Madrid is able to qualify to pursue the title like last season.

I also don't understand why Guardiola did that or maybe it was on purpose or maybe he was not confident with Haaland, many fans are waiting for Guardiola to include Haaland and also KDB.

After thinking deeper, I have an assumption that Guardiola did not use Haaland and KDB in the match because most likely the Man City coach already had a feeling that he would still fail. So Guardiola did not use his two mainstay players to maintain physical condition and not waste too much energy. So after this City can focus more on the EPL and rely on Haaland as a player who will help the team win the EPL title at the end of the season.

Yes and yes we just need to support them to achieve a better position in the champions league at this time, Mbappe is indeed quite impressive, I don't want to compare him with Vini because they are different, they have different potential but are also good.

I highly doubt that thought is true, seeing Guardiola's optimism who is always the vanguard of confidence for Man City, it is impossible for him to have such doubts about the match against Real Madrid, although I also remember that in the previous season he said that they would not win as long as Real Madrid was there, but they still did it with full strength even though they ended up losing.
