What happened to Mbappe after Lionel Messi's absence in Ligue 1
The Frenchman had a hard time without the presence of the Argentina striker.
PSG coach Christophe Galtier decided that Lionel Messi would not play in the Parisians' match against Reims. His absence was a headache for his teammates, who did not have a good time in Ligue 1. Kylian Mbappé looked alone in the attacking zone and confirmed that he cannot shine without the presence of the maximum winner of the Ballon d'Or (7).
After failing to complete the Champions League match against Benfica, due to physical fatigue, Lionel Messi was not called up by Galtier for PSG's match against Reims. The absence of the captain of the Argentine national team was felt by the current leader of Ligue 1.

The Parisian team did not have the best performance. Without Messi, there was not the characteristic connection between the midfield and the forwards. Mbappé, despite having clear options, looked abandoned by his attacking teammates and ratified that he cannot stand out without the presence of the '10' of the Albiceleste.
People expected Mbappé to be the one who put the team on his shoulders, however, they were surprised to find that the best of the match ended up being Gigi Donnarumma, because he was the one who saved PSG from defeat after Sergio Ramos was sent off.

At a press conference, Galtier confirmed that, after the match against Reims, Messi will return to training ahead of the match against Benfica, in the fourth matchday of the Champions
League. Everything points to the 'Pulga' being a starter in the cup match, which will take place next Tuesday at the Parc des Princes.
