Checkmating resulting in check

I was wondering if I can make a move that puts me in check but kills my opponents king, I know it’s an illegal move to put yourself in check but it’s also illegal for my opponent to leave his king in check. So I’m really confused on if I or my opponent would have won

No, you can never make a move that exposes your own king to check. Depending on thee rules you're playing under, you claim the illegal move and handle it from there. Unless the game is lost on the illegal move, under the regulations, your opponent has to take back their move and handle the check.

Ok thanks

Do the best thing to do would be to call the illegal move and move from there
