Paris Saint-Germain wants to dream bigger. Yesterday, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi spoke about the capital club’s new project and he spoke of an evolution rather than a revolution. In the evening, the president of PSG must have said to himself that there was still work to do after the 2-1 defeat against AC Milan in the Champions League. A match where Luis Enrique’s men showed many shortcomings. Obviously, this setback was widely commented on in the press this Wednesday morning. In France, The Parisian as “Paris relapses in Italy”. For his part, The Team as Paris outside night.
A failed performance
On the other side of the Alps, we especially highlighted the great performance of the Rossoneri. In Spain, we also had an eye on this shock. Marca wrote : “Milan overthrows PSG and upsets the group of death (…) Luis Enrique laments. PSG is in difficulty two days from the end. Overall, the media point out the shortcomings of Luis Enrique’s PSG. But it is above all the case of Kylian Mbappé (24 years old) who is causing ink to flow today. Holder, the captain of the Blues did not have a good day. Despite a few chances, he was not a killer.
For all of his work, the FM Editorial gave it a rating of 2.5 with the following comment: “this is the great dissatisfaction of the evening. The captain of the Blues completely missed it. Isolated on the left flank, he always appeared a little disconnected from the team throughout the meeting, often looking for an individual solution. However, he had opportunities. He can undoubtedly do better on this excellent ball from Dembélé (15th) and must necessarily do better against Maignan on this deep ball from Kolo Muani (25th). His two shots on target are too timid to worry the Milan goalkeeper (42nd, 69th)”.
KM7 is “human”
For his part, The Parisian gave it a rating of 3.5.“Disappointing, he lacked efficiency in carrying his team.” The Team gave him a 4 and spoke of an overall “insufficient” performance and the fact that he did “little difference”. In Italy, La Gazzetta dello Sport was more generous in giving it a 5. The Corriere dello Sport gave it a 5.5 and explained that Mbappé was ultimately “human” after his failed performance. An opinion which is also that of Daniel Riolo, journalist for RMC Sport.
“Tonight, I will not only come across Milan Skriniar, who was eaten by Olivier Giroud on goal, and the defenders. Because ahead, we will have to talk about Mbappé. Like Newcastle, I don’t like it at all. He has two big chances, you score one of them and you leave Milan with a draw. Mbappé, are we talking about international class or not? On both occasions, I want at least one in there.” The 24-year-old admitted that there were shortcomings, having appeared in the mixed zone last night. The Frenchman has come out of the silence he has imposed on himself for several months.
