However, the hosts pulled a goal back in the 57th minute, as Shinji Kagawa's deft touch saw the ball fall perfectly for Ousamane Dembele, who slotted home from close range.

The French outfit opted for a change after 67 minutes as the influential Bernardo Silva made way for Morocco's Nabil Dirar.

Radamel Falcao had a chance to seal the win in the 77th minute as the Colombian rounded Roman Burki, but sent his effort over the target.

However, Monaco did grab a third goal two minutes later when Mbappe grabbed his second with a cool finish past Burki, after pouncing on Lukasz Piszczek's back pass, 1-3.

There was time for Dortmund to reduced the deficit, as Kagawa showed great control before slotting the ball home from close range.
