Monaco hold the upper hand over Borussia Dortmund after a thrilling 3-2 win in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Kylian Mbappe's rise into the upper echelons of football's elite continued as his star turn put Monaco on the path to the Champions League semi-finals with a 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund.

The rearranged quarter-final first leg was played just a day removed from an attack on Dortmund's team bus which hospitalised defender Marc Bartra, and Thomas Tuchel's fears that his side could struggle to compete were borne out in a one-sided first half.
