Micah Richards' hilarious reaction to Kylian Mbappe's winner vs Real Madrid

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards couldn't contain his excitement as Kylian Mbappe scored a stunning last-gasp winner to give Paris Saint-Germain a valuable lead over Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The forward is out of contract in the summer and widely expected to leave the French capital, with Madrid the most likely destination amid previous links with the Etihad Stadium.

Richards, who made 246 appearances for City, was on punditry duty for CBS' coverage of the Champions League alongside Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry.

Mbappe spared Lionel Messi's blushes, the Argentine earlier seeing a penalty saved, by squeezing through two Madrid defenders and firing low through Thibaut Courtois's leg in the final minute of added time.

The pundits watched back their reactions to the decisive goal with Richards' heard saying: "Ohhh! Kyliaaaan! What did I tell you? That's my man Kylian, I've backed him since day one, honestly."
