Peter Crouch has hilariously taken credit for Kylian Mbappe’s shinned volley, with the ex-England international saying you “can’t teach” that skill.
Real Madrid superstar Mbappe was back among the goals during his latest Champions League appearance.
The World Cup winner netted Los Blancos’ first of the night as they claimed a dramatic 3-2 win at the Etihad Stadium.
Mbappe’s strike, which came on the hour mark and cancelled out Erling Haaland’s opener for the hosts, had more than a touch of good fortune about it.
The Frenchman did not make the cleanest of contacts as he lined up a spectacular scissor kick.
The ball was, however, to end up in the top corner as it skewed off Mbappe’s shin and looped beyond Ederson.
Former Liverpool and Tottenham striker Crouch hit a few like that himself during his playing days and has posted on social media alongside images of Mbappe emulating his efforts: “Can’t teach it.”
