Nature abhors a vacuum. The press too. With Kylian Mbappé gone to other climes, observers quickly found a new darling at PSG. Since his second half of last season, Bradley Barcola has taken an important place in the Parisian universe. This start of the season confirms more than ever this trend between his performances at club and national team. After three league games, the former Lyon player has already scored as many goals as last season (4), and he has just opened his counter in the French team.
The 22-year-old winger has quickly become the new thriller player at the Parc des Princes. However, at the same time last year, his transfer from OL for €45 million was enough to surprise. After only half a season with his training club, he found himself propelled into one of the most competitive squads in the world. The beginnings were indeed delicate. The editorialist of RMCDaniel Riolo, did not hesitate to describe it as “lamb” after a Champions League match against Newcastle. An expression that now makes us smile.
