PSG puncture and Luis Enrique changes Mbappe again

PSG failed to overcome a goalless draw with Monaco in their last match before traveling to San Sebastian for the second leg of the round of 16 against Real Sociedad.. The news was not the result, but Kylian Mbappe, who was replaced at half-time with the score tied and went straight to the penalty area to watch the second half, after giving Louis II a lap of honor. Monaco, in addition to extra sports, warned from the very beginning that the match at Louis II would not be a bed of roses. In the second minute of the game, Donnarumma, who had been standing close throughout the first half, struck a good shot at Balogun. It was the first of many clear chances that the Italian saved, keeping PSG alive in the match.

Luis Enrique’s team, having practically won the title, approach these types of matches with less motivation than in Europe. Asensio, who was substituted midway through the first half due to muscle problems, he missed a hit to the front, which is usually not forgivable. Vitinha was close to 0:1 with a mid-range shot. These two arrivals were the only warnings from the sarcastic PSG. By half-time the incessant bombardment of Monaco intensified. Ben Yedder dribbled past Donnarumma with the subtlety of a pianist, but the goal was disallowed for being offside by a millimeter.

The former Milan man transformed himself into a two-metre giant, making some decent saves, including two from Aklyush, one that nearly won the game by grazing his fingertips and clearing him, and another from a shot from the youngster. “pass of death”, in which almost 90% of goalies give up after the opponent makes a shot. Another night to praise a goalkeeper who was more criticized than praised in Paris.

This news came during the break. Luis Enrique replaced Kylian Mbappe again as the match did not take place. As soon as he was relieved, the PSG captain took a lap of honor this Friday, walking along the Louis II track, greeting Monaco fans as well as displaced PSG ultras, and sitting with his mother Faiza Lamari on the second-half clock. in the box. In purely sporting terms, PSG had the upper hand coming out of the dressing room against Monaco, weakened by the absence of a bench and dominated by the Parisians. Chances remained in Majecki’s penalty area, who avoided the 0-1 score thanks to a save from Vitigny, but Monaco and PSG considered the draw good, and the score remained 0-0.
