This evening, Paris Saint-Germain caught up with the Monegasque leader by coming back to two points behind ASM in the Ligue 1 standings thanks to their victory over Stade Rennais (3-1). For his part, Kylian Mbappé is still the top scorer in the championship with seven goals on the clock. Yes, but now it’s been four matches, in all competitions, that the Bondynois has not found the net.
In Brittany, nothing succeeded. After trying to obtain a penalty at the start of the match (7th), the number 7 missed a huge scoring opportunity at the very end of the match, after having erased Steve Mandanda (86th). Same lack of success in stoppage time (90th+4, 90th+5). And that’s not all. Failing to score, Mbappé could have been credited with two assists if Ramos (55th) and Barcola (82nd) had not gotten confused.
Dembélé not worried
The Parisian striker is going through a complicated period, even if Ousmane Dembélé refuses to worry. “No, I think he was also tired tonight. we play every three days, it weighs a little. He’s not frustrated, he’ll score quickly.”, he indicated in the mixed zone, just to evacuate the subject as quickly as possible. However, Mbappé calls out because he is much less sharp than usual, especially in his races. Is he paying for his truncated preseason by his sidelining?
Asked about this, Luis Enrique admitted that he was surprised by this shortage. “Kylian hasn’t scored but he’s been at a very high level since the start of the season. He did good deeds. He made passes, he created good chances. It’s true that it’s a bit strange that he didn’t score in this match, but it’s anecdotal. I remember what he brings to the team in attack and defense.. However, it is not certain that the main party concerned will be satisfied with this result despite the victory of his team.
