Kylian Mbappe took his tally for the season to 21 goals with another brace for AS Monaco, helping his side to a 3-2 away win over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.
Mbappe won a first-half penalty, which Fabinho ultimately went on to miss, as well as scoring once in either half, but a late Shinji Kagawa strike did give Dortmund some hope heading into next week’s return tie.
One crucial away goal soon became two for the visitors, this time after Sven Bender nodded a teasing Andrea Raggi cross past his own keeper on his first start of 2017.
A potentially huge moment in the tie arrived shortly before the hour mark, though, as four of Dortmund’s attacking players combined for a route back into the two-legged tie.
For all Dortmund’s dominance visiting striker Radamel Falcao had a glorious chance to add a third away goal, rounding Burki but sending his awkward shot over the crossbar with a man to beat on the line.
Mbappe added his second of the night 11 minutes from time, pouncing on a slack Lukasz Piszczek pass and calmly tucking past Burki when clean through, though some hope was restored for Dortmund late on.
