Kylian Mbappé once again took the spotlight during PSG’s trip to Lorient on Wednesday evening (4-1).

You now have to get used to it: Kylian Mbappé is no longer a regular starter at Paris Saint-Germain. The French international has already announced his desire to leave the capital club at the end of his contract, after 7 years of good and loyal service. And this choice was not without consequences for his playing time.

Mbappé is thus regularly spared by Luis Enrique, when he is not replaced during the match. Last Sunday, in a big match against Olympique Lyonnais (4-1), the 2018 world champion watched his team’s success from the bench, hat screwed on his head.

Mbappé still surprises

A situation which does not prevent the scorer from sinking his teeth into every moment in these last months of his Parisian chapter. Starting in Lorient on Wednesday evening, Kylian Mbappé showed a sparkling face by providing a double and an assist for his friend Ousmane Dembélé.

More than his statistical performance, it is the star’s investment on a collective level that appeals to PSG observers. “ Mbappé is really confusing. It was not at Moustoir that I expected to see him put out such a match. With offensive, defensive investment and obviously great class like the action of the 3rd goal“, wrote journalist Florian Gazan on the social network X (formerly Twitter). Behavior also praised during the return match in Barcelona. With this new sense of sacrifice, Kylian Mbappé could well end his adventure at PSG in the most beautiful way…
