Mbappé, all the gold of Paris
PSG in Monaco this Sunday at the Parc des Princes. Not without a double from his nugget Kylian Mbappé (2-0).
The Parc des Princes still had the opportunity to present its seven-time Ballon d’Or Lionel messi, this Sunday on the occasion of the visit of Monaco as part of the 18e levée de Ligue 1. Jersey flocked with golden letters and numbers, the PSG beat the Principality club at the end of the day, thus regaining 13 lengths ahead of its first pursuer – OM – which certainly shows a game behind.
The hero of the evening was not, however, the Argentinian monument but his offensive companion, Kylian Mbappé, which shone brightly against his former team. A penalty transformed from the 12e minute following a foul by Djibril Sidibé on Angel Di Maria in the box, then a masterful curled shot sent out of reach of Alexander Nübel just before the break – so the young Ile-de-France made the difference, bringing his total this season to nine goals in L1 (in 17 league games) – 13 in all competitions (in 23 games). Above all, he becomes the third player in the history of PSG to reach the milestone of 100 league achievements in the red and blue tunic, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic (113 in total) and Edinson Cavani (138).
Clumsy messi
“ I like to play and I hope to continue like this, already at the end of the calendar year », Says the person hot on the antenna of Prime Video. His last opportunity to score in 2021 being scheduled for next weekend in the Coupe de France – against Feignies-Aulnoye – since he will be suspended for the trip to Lorient on December 22. ” Tonight, we made the difference in the first period, we put a lot of intensity into the game and even if we always want to do more, even if the pace dropped after half-time, we won and it’s most importantly. “
The ASM in fact was not totally unworthy in this part, pushing the club of the capital in its entrenchments between the two decisive cannon shots of Mbappé. In vain. Messi, however, had several opportunities to spice up the addition, but La Pulga was unsuccessful in his last moves. While Paris consolidates its leadership, the Rock, after two straight victories, crumbles somewhat and remains confined to the eighth echelon, five lengths from the podium.
100 – Kylian Mbappé has scored 100 goals in Ligue 1 with Paris. He is the youngest player to have 100 goals with the same team in the top flight (22 years and 357 days) since Opta recorded this data (1950/51). Staggering. #PSGASM pic.twitter.com/poJvhUj5Nl
