Chiquinho scored from 20 yards to cap off a nice play as Olympiacos took an early lead in Greece, but Mbappe stole the show and became the competition’s top scorer this season. “It was very important to get back to winning ways, we know that three matches without that is a lot for us,” Mbappe told Movistar at the time.
