Substitute and scorer against Monaco (5-2), Randal Kolo Muani may have lost points in his long-distance duel against Gonçalo Ramos for the starting place at PSG.
Twelve matches, including 7 starts and 4 goals for one. Sixteen matches, 9 starts and 3 goals for the other. Here are the results of Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos since the start of the season with Paris Saint-Germain. Recruited this summer, the two players are now competitors for the starting center-forward place, because it is rare for Luis Enrique to line up the two men from the kick-off.
Friday, against Monaco (5-2), it was Ramos who started, and scored, while Kolo Muani also found the net after coming on. But it was perhaps the Portuguese who scored the most points. In any case, this is the opinion of Jimmy Algérino, who really liked the performance of the former Benfica player.
“Ramos then Kolo Muani, this is the right order, to keep for the moment, explains the former PSG defender in the columns of L’Equipe. The Portuguese brings more complementarity with Mbappé and Dembélé at the start and appeared to me to be fully liberated by the fact that his purchase option was exercised (contract until 2028). In addition, it is perfect for Kolo Muani, who by entering with his percussion qualities, benefits more from the opponent’s fatigue. »
We will have to see if Luis Enrique maintains this hierarchy on Tuesday evening against Newcastle. In the Champions League, it is Kolo Muani who is the coach’s preference, with four starts in as many days, while Ramos has only started one European match so far.
