Mbappe is already decisive, Ramos didn’t inspire… Tops/Mips from Toulouse-PSG

Tops

Mbappe is really decisive

From his first shots, Bondy’s crack changed the game. Kylian Mbappe opened the goal counter and is already on his way to reconciliation with Paris Saint-Germain supporters. Luis Enrique, the leading scorer in the history of the capital’s club, did not get along at first, who entered at the start of the second half to try to address the offensive scarcity of his team. Right on the lawn, the former Monaco made his pace and style speak, unbalanced in the surface by the unfortunate Nikolaissen, Mbappe earned a penalty which he converted perfectly for his return to the elite after the soap opera That’s why he was captain. The Blues have already proved essential to the Parisian attack by scoring the first goal from a long series.

TFC Rock Costa

TFC champion Logan Costa in the French Cup final against Nantes showed his physical qualities against the Parisians. Established in a five-man defence, Cape Verde were crucial. Combined with his late-match save against Mbappe, the 22-year-old defender won the majority of his duels. Clean in recovery, reassuring his defense and goalkeeper against the constant pressure of Enrique’s players. In the air or on the ground, Logan Costa was the king of disgusting Gonzalo Ramos and attacking Parisians.

Dembele is well on his feet

In the long-awaited premiere, Ousmane Dembele has already made great guarantees for the Parisian attack. Entering the match at the same time as his compatriot and friend Kylian Mbappe, the former Barcelona player, he made his speed speak on his right side. A real poison, Dembele had ants on his legs. His shots and accelerations beat TFC defenders. Good at playing quick with a touch of the ball, PSG’s latest recruit succeeded in his first match in the red and blue jersey.

Ramos fParis attack

Against Lorient, Goncalo Ramos had a hard time expressing himself. The former Benfica striker, who was signed for €80m including bonus this summer, is yet to make his mark in his new colours. Often found by his teammates, the Portugal international lacked precision in the final gesture. In air duels, he struggled with the law of Costa and Nikolaissen. As for his partners, it was necessary to wait for the arrival of Mbappé and Dembélé to be really dangerous in the last metres.

PSG’s weak balance sheet

Already lost four points in two days to Paris Saint-Germain. Even if these first two games are a warm-up to find automatic mechanics and adapt to Luis Enrique’s playing style, the balance sheet is not ideal. Last season, PSG had great success in their first two meetings with six points in two games. The situation has changed a lot this year as he has two points in the most matches. The capital club is already letting serious title contenders slip away. With receptions from Lens, Nice, Marseille and a trip to Lyon, Paris will have to be more decisive not to lose too many points on the way.
