Mbappé’s goal after a nice collective movement
Largely reserved by Manchester City in the first period, PSG managed to open the scoring upon returning from the locker room thanks to Kylian Mbappé, this Wednesday, in the Champions League.
He had missed a huge opportunity just before the break. Launched by Neymar, author of a winning pressing on John Stones, Kylian Mbappé had opened his foot too much and sent the ball just above Ederson’s cages on a curled shot from the right (44th). He made up for it after returning from the locker room. It was he who opened the scoring for PSG on the Manchester City lawn, against the course of the game, on the fifth day of the group stage of the Champions League (on RMC Sport 1).

Mbappé panics the counters
He found himself at the conclusion of a great collective action. After a move that involved Nuno Mendes on the left, the center-blocked Lionel Messi ended up in the feet of the 22-year-old French world champion, who worked hard to find the net by shooting between Ederson’s legs ( 50th). A goal full of composure to guide the Parisians to the knockout stages of the Champions League. And a relaxation for the team of Mauricio Pochettino, jostled as rarely during the first 45 minutes.

Mbappé confirmed in passing his excellent form of the moment. Whether with PSG or in selection, he is now at eight but registered in his last five games in all competitions.
