Mbappé, it's over

PSG sent Kylian Mbappé on vacation. Like Ousmane Dembélé on the Parisian side, the captain of the French team found the departure eleven of Real Madrid for the Club World Cup semi-final, facing his former club on Wednesday at Metlife Stadium, in the suburbs of New York. Except that, if “Dembouz” brought the Parisians to the Sunday's final against Chelsea, Mbappé could not play the Saviors. He did not even have the opportunity to save the honor.

For the return of Mbappé to the winner of the Champions League, Xabi Alonso tried a tactical blow by combining the French phenomenon with Vinicius and Gonzalo Garcia, the feeling of Real since the start of the tournament. None of these players managed to worry Gianluigi Donnarumma and, worse, the “Kyks” again seemed disconnected from “Vini” during the overflows of the Brazilian on the left.

Real was not helped either by two scandalous errors at this level. And this, from the start of the meeting. After a failed control of Raul Asencio in front of his goal, Ousmane Dembélé was mowed by Thibaut Courtois but Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring in the 6th minute of the game.

Mbappé on the ground until the end

Barely three minutes later, it was Antonio Rüdiger who sealed his team by missing his pass to his goalkeeper and it was again “Dembouz” who went to the goal for this time to register his 37th goal of the season. His second in the tournament in the United States after that scored against Bayern last Saturday.

The rest was very painful to look at because the formation of Xabi Alonso was therefore unable to put the defense of PSG in difficulty. If Mbappé finished the match, Vinicius was released at 65th … The “final before the time” of this club World Cup, it was against Bayern, author of an excellent performance. Worse than that, the formation of Luis Enrique even scored a fourth and last goal. Bradley Barcola found Gonçalo Ramos for a force in force scored by the Portuguese striker (87th). We will have to be even more lethal against Chelsea to easily afford the title of world club champion.
