Last night, Luis Enrique started Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) against Montpellier (6-2). We certainly won't know, but the loss of Ousmane Dembélé, hit in the eardrum, may have changed the situation. But the different probable compositions announced by the French media on Sunday morning indicated that the Spanish technician was going to rely on an attacking trio composed of Bradley Barcola, on the left, Ousmane Dembélé, on the right, and Randal Kolo Muani, at the forefront. KM7 was announced on the bench. Finally, he was there at kickoff.
After the meeting, Luis Enrique did not want to say more about his choice. “Never mind. I know, he doesn't. Surprise surprise (in English). He delivered another exceptional match, as usual. As long as we can take advantage of him, so much the better.” Indeed, it doesn't matter. The French striker responded perfectly with a hat-trick and an assist. Voted man of the match by the FM Editorial, he got a score of 9 for his almost perfect game. His teammates were amazed like Manuel Ugarte.
Everyone bows

Vitinha confided: “It’s no surprise, he’s amazing. It’s another hat-trick to help the team.” In Spain, where each Kylian Mbappé match is dissected, we also bowed to his talent. “No one slows down Mbappé”title A.S. before adding: “a hat-trick from the French international in Paris Saint-Germain's 2-6 victory over Montpellier, including a work of art.”
A.S. continues: “Kylian Mbappé continues to break all records at a time when his coach, Luis Enrique, is gradually dosing his appearances in Ligue 1. The captain of the French team led Paris Saint-Germain to victory, 2-6 , Montpellier. on the pitch with a thunderous hat-trick, with another impressive performance, with another match that once again consolidated him as the best player in Ligue 1, also in the world (…) The match lasted until Mbappé like it, and even halfway, he remains the best player in Ligue 1, a competition too small for him.
Spain is already waiting for it
Marca is of the same opinion: “PSG wins again and Mbappé scares Barcelona with a hat-trick. They beat Montpellier (2-6) thanks to a recital from Kylian and they are leaders with 12 points ahead. Relevo also bows: “Mbappé enjoys a hat-trick and a complete match. The French striker scored three goals against Montpellier and reached 250 with PSG (…). Without a doubt, with Mbappé on the pitch, PSG is scary and is already aiming for the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Barça.
In Catalonia, Sport wrote : “Mbappé warns Barça: hat-trick against Montpellier!” Beyond the shock in the Champions League, Spain is already rubbing its hands since the captain of the Blues will play in Madrid next year. In the show El Chiringuitojournalist Edu Aguirre blurted out: “Barça has no chance in La Liga (next year, editor’s note), Mbappé will destroy them.” The star presenter, Josep Pedrerol, agrees. “Yesterday (Saturday), Vinicius scored two goals. Today (Sunday), Mbappé scored three. The coming season will entertain us.” In the meantime, Mbappé wants to finish the job in Paris.
