After four matches without being decisive, Kylian Mbappé was able to count on the support of Ousmane Dembélé after the victory in Rennes.

THE Paris Saint Germain reassured himself a little on Sunday evening. Four days after the debacle on the Newcastle pitch (1-4), the capital’s players won in Rennes (3-1) and returned to the Ligue 1 podium, enough to approach the international break with the a little lighter spirit.

Four matches without scoring for Mbappé

Despite this, concern lurks around Kylian Mbappé. Despite a good match in content, the French international did not score or deliver an assist, bringing his drought period to four matches after a great start to the season (8 goals in 5 matches), and notably pointed out with an unmissable miss in front of the empty goal. Unaccustomed to such series of matches without shaking the nets, the 24-year-old player is inevitably the target of many questions.

But after the meeting at Roazhon Park, the 2018 world champion was able to count on his partner and friend Ousmane Dembélé to defend it and justify this drop in efficiency in the last matches. “I think he was tired in this match. We play every three days, it weighs a little. He’s not frustrated, he’ll quickly notice.”explained the former Barcelona player, author of his second assist in the Parisian jersey.
