With or without him, it’s not the same PSG. Indeed, Kylian Mbappé (24) is the number one asset of the capital club. However, he was dismissed for several weeks this summer by the Ile-de-France management. It all started on June 12 when the captain of the Blues sent a letter to Paris in which he explained that he would not extend beyond June 2024. News that was not to the liking of Nasser Al- Khelaïfi and the Emir of Qatar. It should be remembered that a year earlier, they had bent over backwards to extend the Frenchman, offering him a salary and XXL bonuses.
A double against Lyon
They therefore felt betrayed when they received this famous missive. Mbappé was disappointed several times during the season, both on and off the pitch. Absent from the tour in Asia, the striker has always maintained his wish to stay in Paris while we talked more and more about him in Madrid. Finally, he found the group after the first match against Lorient. A meeting where Luis Enrique’s men did not find the target (0-0). A week later, they succeeded against Toulouse. Came into play in the 51st, he had converted a penalty in the 62nd (1-1).
During the third day, KM7 started in the clash against Lens. Result: a double in the 3-1 victory (the other scorer was Marco Asensio, editor’s note). The transfer window and the many rumors about it therefore did not disturb him. Without pressure, he also made the powder speak against OL on Sunday evening. After converting a penalty in the 4th (0-1), KM7, who made his speed and percussion speak on several occasions, deceived Anthony Lopes with a dive just before the break (0-4, 45th + 2) . In the second period, he continued to manhandle Les Gones without finding the fault.
KM7 advances without pressure
No matter, since he found PSG, Kylian Mbappé has therefore totaled 5 goals in 3 L1 games. Excellent news for PSG and Luis Enrique. In a press conference, the Spanish coach confided: “We have known him for a very long time, I know him very well. He’s a different 9 with great mobility, he’s very dynamic, he knows how to get between the lines, especially in the middle. He is able to play in the corridor, in the half-spaces, he plays with great finesse. All three worked fine. And then when they came out, it also worked with Barcola or Ramos. I still have Kolo Muani, I’m very happy with the players I have in attack. I am in a hurry to see the combinations that I will be able to do.
Everything seems to be going well for PSG, whom Marquinhos finds very good (see video), and Kylian Mbappé, who did not stop in the mixed zone and who joined his mother Fayza Lamari who we saw chatting with Rayan Cherki behind the scenes. But the captain of the Blues spoke on social networks to defend Bradley Barcola, heckled by Lyon supporters. He replied simply that the winger is “one of us“. After a turbulent summer, KM7 proves that he is not affected or impacted by the rumors and the conflict he may have had with his management. Excellent news for Paris.
