On Tuesday night, the African quintet of Dennis Emmanuel, Percy Tau, Krepin Diatta, Simon Deli and David Okereke were spectators in awe when Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to round off a superb night for the French Championship.
Mbappe, 20, scored a hat-trick and got an assist in PSG’s 5-0 routing of the Belgian side in their own back yard.
