Psg-Brest: Donnarumma para, Mbappé unlocks and returns to +11

Mbappé always goes in goal. It is again the French champion who points the way to the three points at PSG that overcomes Brest, even with a goal from Kehrer, and returns to +11 on Nice. But on the victory there is also the signature of Donnarumma, protagonist with an exceptional parade. Always precious is the direction of Verratti, in the absence of Messi, a veteran of Covid, and of Neymar, convalescing.

Dribbling

The advantage, splendid, is signed by Mbappé, but PSG also owes a lot to the blue goalkeeper who, after being ill with Covid, should not have played. But this morning, Navas also tested positive, so it was the former Rossoneri’s turn in goal. Decisive in the 9th minute when Kimpembe missed a ball in depth for Cardona who found himself in front of the Parisian goalkeeper. Gigio, however, came out coldly: never, already at 5 ‘, he had freed himself from the pressing of Honorat with a mocking dribble in his small area.

Returning to Cardona, Donnarumma waited until the end before going to the ground, intercepting the close ground shot, destined for the corner, with his right arm and deflecting for a corner. A masterpiece that allows PSG not to lose control of the match against a nonetheless defiant opponent, even with some interesting ideas from Faivre that Milan likes, but who is punished by Mbappé in the 32 ‘. The Frenchman, on the left, receives to the limit, focuses by feinting the right to turn, but then chooses the direct jab which thus slips on the near post. Another masterpiece that rewards a first half of domination (68% of Parisian possession), orchestrated by the direction of Verratti. And where the only discordant note is an anonymous Icardi.

Pole

With Messi and Neymar in the stands, the doubling comes from a defender. It’s back to Kehrer, who already scored in Lyon in the previous round. The German is found free in the center of the area on Mendes ‘low cross from the back, and puts in (8’). But the encore could also have been signed at 3 ‘by Verratti, performing with Di Maria in the left sector of the area. The blue, at the top, finds the inner pole. Then Mbappé touches an encore on a couple of occasions, but the substance remains the same: domination in Ligue 1, awaiting the round of 16 of the Champions League against Real Madrid, in a month.
