After Mbappe's poor match vs Ireland, the true 'man of the match' for France

France managed to win by the minimum, against Ireland, in the second gameweek of the UEFA qualification for Euro 2024. Kylian Mbappe and his team did not play a great game, however, the mission was achieved, add 3 points and put themselves as Group B leaders.

Despite the 3 points and being leaders, the reality is that surprising criticism of Kylian Mbappe arose on social networks, for his bad game, or at least, for his low level compared to what he himself is used to. Nowadays, seeing a goalless Mbappe game is surprising, and that says a lot about the quality of the striker.

There was a player from France who shone above the rest, and it's neither Olivier Giroud, nor Kolo Muani, nor Antoine Griezmann. It's about Mike Maignan, French goalkeeper for AC Milan. He was playing a great game, but a save at minute 90 was the icing on the cake.

When will Mbappe play again with PSG?

Paris Saint-Germain plays this Sunday against Olympique Lyon, in a match that is quite important in the fight for the Ligue 1 championship. Kylian Mbappe will play as a starter, at least that is expected, since he finished the games with France without any apparent injury.
