Without mercy, the French press attack on Kylian Mbappé after PSG's victory

It's no secret that Lionel Messi had a really bad time at PSG. Leo himself confirmed it in several interviews and the main people responsible for his experience in the capital of France being bad were the team's ultras (who regularly whistled at him in the Parc des Princes) and the local press. Although La Pulga had good statistics as a Parisian footballer, the media used to criticize him mercilessly and usually rated him with low scores.

Along the same lines, the great protégé was always Kylian Mbappé, but now that Messi left that began to change. Bondy's star began to be pointed out in the midst of the club's bad present and he was even accused of leading different parties. This weekend, Paris Saint-Germain won 3-1, but the French striker missed an incredible goal and L'Equipe did not forgive him: they scored him a 4. In this way, he was the second worst rated behind Gonçalo Ramos (3).

Donatello's missed goal was the big topic in the victory, so much so that even Luis Enrique had to talk about it in the post-match press conference. “As for Kylian, it is strange that he did not score, but it is anecdotal. I liked what he contributed both in attack and defense. He was in the right actions, he triggered many situations”, said the Spanish technical director. It should be remembered that the Asturian recently assured that Mbappé is the best player in the world.

L'Equipe's justification for the low score they gave Mbappé

“If we want to see the glass half full, he could have finished with two assists (Ramos, 55', Barcola, 81'). But there was too much waste and too many bad decisions in his game for it to be satisfying. Worse still, his final touch was not clinical: his shot was blocked by Assignon (24') and he lost the duel with Mandanda (45'+2). And after 40 meters and two dribbles, he sent his shot over the crossbar (86')", explained the French newspaper.
