despite Mbappé, Paris falls in Monaco

Some wondered what was the interest for Didier Deschamps to have kept a convalescent Kylian Mbappé in his group during the international window …

If he only played about thirty minutes against Sweden on Tuesday, we have to believe that his passage in Blue will have at least allowed him to find physical and mental freshness.

Mbappé still successful against Monaco

The PSG striker proved it this Friday evening, on the lawn of Monaco, in an advanced match of the 11th day of Ligue 1.

Faced with his training club, which he loves to martyr since playing under the Parisian colors (7 matches, 7 goals against ASM), Mbappé made the powder speak twice in the first period (25th, 37th sp) for allow his team to switch in front at the break (2-0).

He did not go far from the hat-trick, again deceiving Mannone, before being signaled in an offside position (44th).

Alas, the performance of the now best director in Ligue 1 was not enough for a PSG who literally collapsed in the second period.

The weight of absences (Verratti, Draxler, Herrera, Icardi …) weighed heavily in the second Tuesday of the match against Monegasques very leggy and uninhibited.

Volland, a poison for the Parisian defense

In the absence of Wissam Ben Yedder, positive for Covid-19, the German Kevin Volland took care of everything, to the point of stealing the show from Mbappé.

Author of a double too (52nd, 65th) to put the two formations on an equal footing, he was a constant poison for the Kimpembe-Diallo hinge, going so far as to force the latter to commit the irreparable in the area.

Fabregas does not tremble

Sanctioned by a penalty and a red card, Diallo helplessly witnessed the effectiveness of Fabregas at eleven meters.

The Spaniard’s first goal this season will nonetheless be the most important for the Principality’s club, as it offers a prestigious victory for Niko Kovac’s men.

What is more, faced with an opponent who had acquired the bad habit, for three years, of inflicting a series of humiliations on the Monegasques.

PSG must quickly recover

This Friday evening, the ASM washed away the affront. And PSG, he conceded his third defeat of the season in the league, the first since the third day (0-1 against OM);

At the worst moment since on Tuesday, it is a crucial match that looms with the reception of Leipzig in the Champions League.
