Mbappe pulls off outrageous backheel nutmeg through ball to leave Twitter users purring
Frenchman sent social media into meltdown after he humiliated Chris Smalling during the Champions League tie
KYLIAN MBAPPE sent fans wild when he found Angel Di Maria with an incredible backheel nutmeg through ball.
The skillful Frenchman, 20, produced the moment of magic as Paris Saint-Germain hunted for their equaliser against Manchester United.
The ball was delivered into Mbappe's feet as he lurked on the edge of United's penalty area.
Without hesitation, the PSG superstar sent an insane backheel through the legs of Chris Smalling.
His through ball glided perfectly into the path of Di Maria, who cleverly chipped the strike over David De Gea and into the back of the net.
But the joy was short-lived for the Ligue 1 leaders as the offside flag was immediately raised.
Fans flocked to social media to praise Mbappe - who is the Champions League's highest Under-21 goalscorer.
One stunned viewer wrote: "That goal should be allowed just because Mbappe's assist and Di Maria's finished were both fire."
While another boldly claimed: "Assist of the century from Kylian Mbappe."
Gary Lineker even added: "Di Maria offside, but that flick from Mbappe. [shocked eyes emoji]."
