Ligue 1, Psg-Saint Etienne 3-1, two goals from Mbappé

More and more Mbappé. But the same can now also be said of Messi. And the PSG in addition to the full of points, against Saint Etienne – recovered 3-1 after the initial disadvantage – makes another one of self-esteem, about ten days after the return of the Champions League round of 16 with Real Madrid, already beaten 1 -0 first leg. Again with Mbappé who will miss the next round of the championship due to disqualification, but in the meantime he continues to score. Since yesterday, the Frenchman has also spoken to Ibrahimovic, hooked to second place in the absolute scorers’ classification of PSG, with 156 goals. Thanks to a brace that also earned him primacy in the season, currently with Ben Yedder of Monaco. And in any case against the Verts, Mbappé also remained at the top of the list of assists, reached however by Messi who sent him twice on the net.

The PSG, which also goes on the field with Neymar, takes it a little comfortable at the start. He doesn’t bite, he manages by taking possession of the ball, with a possession that at the end of the first half stands at 70% and 60% in the second half. Inevitable given that the Saint Etienne goes down in the trenches in front of its area and is dedicated only to restarts. Even if the goal arrives on a lightness of Pereira who loses the ball in front of Donnarumma’s area, Bouanga takes advantage of it and pierces the blue (16 ‘). Innocent, the former Rossonero had already avoided the worst in the 12th minute, coming out on Youssouf’s close shot, repeating himself in the 25th minute after Nordin’s shot. It all started from another lost ball, this time from Messi, in an orphaned midfield of the suspended Verratti. Here, Messi, the watched special, remains a bit on the sidelines for most of the first half, with various flaws, undergoing the physical pressure of the opponents. But at 42 ‘, after several interesting exchanges also with Neymar, the stroke of genius arrives. The former Blaugrana off the right cuts in for Mbappé who crosses and puts in the right.

The tenth assist arrives as early as 2 ‘of the second half, with PSG going from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3, making room for Di Maria as well. The goal of the Parisian advantage is a spectacle for how Messi advances from the edge, ball glued to his foot, changing direction twice, avoiding two opponents and to insert Mbappé again for another diagonal jab from the right. For the Frenchman it is the 14 / o center of the season, but above all the 156 / o with the PSG shirt. As many as Ibrahimovic, behind only Cavani (200). It is difficult to reach him especially if he decides to move to Real Madrid in June, which in the meantime he wants to throw out of the Champions League. In the meantime, the splendid assist on 7 ‘of the second half also ends up in the notebook: a right winger from the left for Pereira’s header, who thus makes up for the oversight of the first half. Neymar, on the other hand, on 34 ‘takes the post, like Wijnaldum on 47’. But in the end Ola starts in the stands anyway, and the ovation for Mbappé, when he is replaced by Icardi (38 ‘st). At the final whistle Pochettino’s PSG goes to bed at +16 on Nice and Marseille.
