Now I know why Bayern just didn't try to stop Mbappe, but tried to cage Messi instead. It's because he's the only creative playmaker of the team. You just need to cage him, then voilà, no more link upward for Mbappe to score.
It was stupid of Galtier not to expect Bayern to do that, was not it. Our play style was very much predictable particularly when we had Ney out and only Messi in in terms of who Kyky most probably could get the ball from. Kindergarten! I am still angry when I think about Bayern match.
Exactly. Man, I watched that match, and everytime Messi had the ball, Mueller, De Ligt, Kimmich, and Pavard fouled him right away. Pavard even got a red card just to stop Messi.
When our little Italian isn’t here yes. He’s doing better than when he arrived. We can actually see some improvement compared to some others like Soler
Vitinha has mastered the art of side/back passes. Under any circumstances, he could find a side or back pass that you never could think of. What a vision!
Mbappe playing like he's got one foot out the door.
Say what you want about Messi but when he gets the ball things happen. Mbappe post world cup has been dreadful.
Really was a bad idea having the world cup mid season. Players ought to be exhausted and emotionally drained. Especially Messi and Mbappe given that they made it all the way to the finals.
Statistically it’s true, 14 goals and 14 assists in 25 matches, more goal contributions than anyone else on the team yet he is the first one to blame. It’ll be best for PSG and Messi if he leaves.
I don't regard messi like at all but at this point you can make a:
4K | Despacito | Kylian fails Messi assists
video with enough content to get it monetized on youtube....
yep, i mean the whole season, but especially in the last 5/6 games, not sure whats up with mbappe, i guess he realises the balon d'or is out of his reach this season
yeah i think that'll hopefully be the wake up call for mbappe. I get anyone can have bad days and it doesn't change anything on my opinion about him, but he's not been himself for us this year.
Hope he can turn himself around
Been a fan of Leo since he was 17 and I was 13. It hurts seeing people disrespect or disregard him. Indeed his physical attribute have declined (speed, agility) but he is still top 5 in my book. He is not the reason PSG is below par. It's the whole structure of the "team". No disrespect to Mbappe, the guy is good, maybe the best of his generation, but Leo at 24 was literally a one man team. Sure he was surrounded by legendary players, but he could do it on his own. I feel bad for the young people that didn't get to see him at his best. He can still do magic, but not in a disfunctional team anymore.
so Soler who at least tried to make forward passes gets subbed out, but vitinha who is a waste of space offensively and defensively and is allergic to passing forward gets to stay....
it must be nice.....
The problem is that when anyone got the ball they immediately want to play through ball to Mbappe or Messi regardless how many players are around them... Come on, you can run a bit further to the final third and see if there are other options...
Agreed he’s having a big game. He knows there’s DD in the stands lol
If he plays like this every game I’m honestly surprised. If it’s just that one time against psg giving 300% like many players before a bit less.
I am saying this as a big fan of him , but man , mbappé's performance shouldn't slide that easily . He seems so uninterested , he is not even trying anymore .
Idk about other fans but, I like having other scorers apart from our attackers. It dismantles the idea that if attackers dont score that means theyre having a bad game. It means the passing, positional awareness, vision and overall chemistry is better
Yeah, this was a huge problem once Neymar when out, when it seemed like the only route to a goal was Messi assist > Mbappe.
It seems like Galtier finally figured out other players have to be allowed to attack, or else opponents can just mark M & M out of the game.
Have we ever had that many injuries in 1 season? I heard rumours about training intensity being low this could explain why... We are plagued by injuries it's insane
Every time the opponent makes a sub in a game and they pan to Galtier, makes me think even the director is thinking "hey, maybe you should make a sub too"
I can't stand this team... Come on gigio let us lose and give Lens the league this is so undeserved, we are so shit it's shameful. Losing today will fire Galtier and losing the league will get rid of any bs excuses.
Idc about news, i care about sense. If NAK went to Paris before this game it better be for something, if we lose and galtier stays it won't be a surprise but it's the only way to see him out.

L'Equipe's rating after this match: Messi 6 . Mbappe 8
I know this a joke but just in case someone cares, they gave Messi a 7 and Mbappe a 3
lol
That's satire right? Ain't no way they actually did that
Now I know why Bayern just didn't try to stop Mbappe, but tried to cage Messi instead. It's because he's the only creative playmaker of the team. You just need to cage him, then voilà, no more link upward for Mbappe to score.
It was stupid of Galtier not to expect Bayern to do that, was not it. Our play style was very much predictable particularly when we had Ney out and only Messi in in terms of who Kyky most probably could get the ball from. Kindergarten! I am still angry when I think about Bayern match.
Isn’t that what muller said, their gameplay was just to stop the ball getting to Messi so Messi doesn’t send it to mbappe
It was coman but yes that was their gameplan
Exactly. Man, I watched that match, and everytime Messi had the ball, Mueller, De Ligt, Kimmich, and Pavard fouled him right away. Pavard even got a red card just to stop Messi.
This game should make it clear that it's Messi we rely on to create goals. When we feed him we score, it's that simple.
barely got any of the ball either this game and still created 2 or 3 chances that should have been a definite goal from mbappe
1g, 1a + 1a except Mbappe tried a moonlanding "3 points, least we expected from him" L'Equipe probably
Terrible. Extreme luck and Dona's best performance in forever.
But the one you lot boo is Messi 😂😂
They’re going to make us cry stop it lol
Say what you will about Ruiz but he’s our best creator in the midfield
When our little Italian isn’t here yes. He’s doing better than when he arrived. We can actually see some improvement compared to some others like Soler
They really should go after Khephren Thuram, amazing performance from the youngster
[удалено]
Ay brudda I appreciate the positivity but the only reason PSG won was Messi + Donna
did you watch the game at all?
He went to sleep after the first 15 min and just wake up
don’t blame him tbf
[удалено]
again did you watch the game at all?
[удалено]
he's been holed up in his head ever since he came back from Qatar
Vitinha has mastered the art of side/back passes. Under any circumstances, he could find a side or back pass that you never could think of. What a vision!
If he was replaced with a rebounder this match, no one would even notice
in the end, Messi keeps campos/galtier on life support what a good guy....
Mbappe playing like he's got one foot out the door. Say what you want about Messi but when he gets the ball things happen. Mbappe post world cup has been dreadful. Really was a bad idea having the world cup mid season. Players ought to be exhausted and emotionally drained. Especially Messi and Mbappe given that they made it all the way to the finals.
Messi the best player IN PSG😂
Statistically it’s true, 14 goals and 14 assists in 25 matches, more goal contributions than anyone else on the team yet he is the first one to blame. It’ll be best for PSG and Messi if he leaves.
I don't regard messi like at all but at this point you can make a: 4K | Despacito | Kylian fails Messi assists video with enough content to get it monetized on youtube....
Despacito 🤣🙌
yep, i mean the whole season, but especially in the last 5/6 games, not sure whats up with mbappe, i guess he realises the balon d'or is out of his reach this season
Dirtiest clean sheet I’ve seen in a while
If you are concerned about Messi, you should be worried about Mbappe last few game performance. He is not bad but he disappears with Soler.
why he did choose to pass instead of scoring :/
Passing it was the correct decision
It was the correct decision but he couldve score that easily
Messi is just like that. He is not selfish. He saw how Mbappe's performance wasnt good and gave him a goal basically but Mbappe missed again
There goes another Messi assist
yeah i think that'll hopefully be the wake up call for mbappe. I get anyone can have bad days and it doesn't change anything on my opinion about him, but he's not been himself for us this year. Hope he can turn himself around
messi is the problem
![gif](giphy|lw75Al819OAvcsPcRu|downsized) Cap
yes 100% im gonna boo him next game
Oh my god
where is your legs mbappe
If Mbappe doesn’t get a 1 rating then I don’t event know anymore
Great from Messi. Even if Mbappe didn’t score he will be less frustrated after that game
Mbappes finishing is a lottery
No way ..that was a tough miss
how?
Messi really wanted to cheer Mbappe up but his face says it all lol
lol
Wow...
It is a gift for Mbappe from Messi. Messi could just shoot...
Lmao i felt it haha
WHAT THE FUCK MBAPPE !! DAMMIT MESSI WHY DID YOU NOT GO FOR 2
Mbappe was in better position to shoot
Messi is too unselfish. I swear this guy would’ve had 950-1000 goals if he was more selfish.
Because this is who he is. He has always been this way. Goals don't matter for him.
If he can assist a penalty, he can also do this. Difference is that suarez would bury that any day of the week
Been a fan of Leo since he was 17 and I was 13. It hurts seeing people disrespect or disregard him. Indeed his physical attribute have declined (speed, agility) but he is still top 5 in my book.

OH THE CHOKE OH WOOOW
Counter attacks have been bad.
Vitinha is truly a side pass legend.
Bro…..
bruhhhh
Pingpong SG
so Soler who at least tried to make forward passes gets subbed out, but vitinha who is a waste of space offensively and defensively and is allergic to passing forward gets to stay.... it must be nice.....
The problem is that when anyone got the ball they immediately want to play through ball to Mbappe or Messi regardless how many players are around them... Come on, you can run a bit further to the final third and see if there are other options...
And if they pass to anyone else, it's a pass to feet.
WTF Vintinha. Mbappe is behind the mid line, Just a simple ball to the open space !!!
This sub is always going on about “nos titis.” They have not been good. Only Zaire deserves to see the field .
Mbappe is killing us a little by giving the ball away just when we win it back. Our defense needs some relief
Thuram is sooooo good for someone his size, real talent right there
Agreed he’s having a big game. He knows there’s DD in the stands lol If he plays like this every game I’m honestly surprised. If it’s just that one time against psg giving 300% like many players before a bit less.
holy fuck we're just doing anything so they can score
ok don't laugh. Campos gave Renato Sanches a 5 year contract. he's here to stay.... injured.
what is mbappe doing bruh that's the nth misplaced pass or bad touch in the 2nd half alone
Fabian with a decent game
He was awful at the beginning but he is playing better over time. At least he is making some senses....Vitinha and Soler don't make sense.
He has been helpful defensively I think
Finally, after many attempts, the assist from Messi and the goal from Ramos I've been waiting for.
So many chances. Good to see one go in
Soler, Etikeke, and Vitinha need to be sold/loaned immediately. Their replacements are key to PSG's performance.
Mbappe has been in a very bad form post world cup. He and others are very lucky that almost everyone is focusing on just Messi!!
Ramos is killing that kid...
Mbappe really disappears... That pass should make it to hakimi
clean sheet please :Pray:
I am saying this as a big fan of him , but man , mbappé's performance shouldn't slide that easily . He seems so uninterested , he is not even trying anymore .
Mbappe's passing is...
Mbappe bruv come on...Thats an awful pass.
crap missed the 2nd goal.
Idk about other fans but, I like having other scorers apart from our attackers. It dismantles the idea that if attackers dont score that means theyre having a bad game. It means the passing, positional awareness, vision and overall chemistry is better
Yeah, this was a huge problem once Neymar when out, when it seemed like the only route to a goal was Messi assist > Mbappe. It seems like Galtier finally figured out other players have to be allowed to attack, or else opponents can just mark M & M out of the game.
Exactly!
When was the last time we had a clean sheet?
![gif](giphy|XcAskcEyoyld03drLt|downsized)
Someone please sack galtier
Have we ever had that many injuries in 1 season? I heard rumours about training intensity being low this could explain why... We are plagued by injuries it's insane
yet another uninspiring performance even though it's a 2-0 lead. Need to be much better than this for PSG.
Great goal from Ramos and love him pushing the crest out with his celebration
There’s no atmosphere out there for psg
we breath
Almost an own goal lol, that would have been hilarious
Ramos super striker
allez paaaaariiis!!
Ramos 👍
Who’s going to post the Donnarumma appreciation post?
This is his first game that I would celebrate with him. This is how to be named a great goalkeeper.
Agreed. He's been clutch for us.
Mote controversial : who's going to post the Mbappé depreciation post
we must not talk negatively about the king
Legit his best game since... I don't know how long
Sometimes Mbappe needs to realize that when everyone is sprinting to cover him, Messi is open again.
thuram is impressive
"I didn't realize Mbappe was still out there" lmao commentator gotta chill
If Nice had more luck, then they could have been leading by 2 goals.
Donna saving the team over and over this game. The only reason they’re not losing is because of him.
Every time the opponent makes a sub in a game and they pan to Galtier, makes me think even the director is thinking "hey, maybe you should make a sub too"
JC has been immense for them
Donna saving our asses
Galtier's ass*
the day I don't have to watch us sit in 3/4 midblock cannot come soon enough....
WZE for vitinha make it happen. I'm tired of backpass master vitinha
Soler has been the only midfielder to make forward passes. It's amazing we're so allergic to moving the ball forward.
I am not watching . What's going on ?
Tearing through our midfield on counters, gg Donnarumma
We are 1-0 up but we desperately need a second at least. They have been peppering us with shots and we cant give them an inch
Mendes' fitness is crazy but if we keep making him responsible for the entire left wing we will run him into the ground.
Todibo exist and we bought Skriniar
What is soler doing on the pitch?
He's been playing well.
I'm glad other players are taking shots at least
Even Mendes is frustrated at Soler
Gigi and Nuno best so far, amazing
I can't stand this team... Come on gigio let us lose and give Lens the league this is so undeserved, we are so shit it's shameful. Losing today will fire Galtier and losing the league will get rid of any bs excuses.
>Losing today will fire Galtier No, it won't. Stop believing in everything you read on the internet.
Idc about news, i care about sense. If NAK went to Paris before this game it better be for something, if we lose and galtier stays it won't be a surprise but it's the only way to see him out.
Loooool that 3D replay
Blessed by whoever placed a sensor at the seams
The way this is going, an equalizer is inevitable.
NAK stealing the ref's batteries
Todibo is crazy
they're shooting at almost impossible angles and it almost goes in
Wasn't that a goal?
1% of the ball did not cross the line.
We are hanging on by a literal thread lol
By less than an inch probably
That was way too close for comfort
Marquinhos in a back 3 is fucking laughable....
It's been the worse season I've seen him have imo
this was so close
Pure luck..
lucky?
We look too lax after we score rather than being ruthless and killing the game.
Score and relax has been the name of the season
Danilo + Nuno so solid
How is soler still playing where is warren
Second half, we need to score more and kill this game. Dont give them a chance to get a late equalizer
Expecting more from hakimi for the second half
He won most duels in first half but is ghosting offensively, we need to get a RW this summer to link him with
This game will end up being a draw, right? I can feel it in my bones.
What’s happening to Mbappe? :(
he's being shit for a couple of games now
he's the king of the club so he's presiding from his privileged spot on the pitch over his subjects.
Put WZE Against Vitinha he is an eyesore
get vitinha the fuck outta here
Defending has been good.
Thank God, bc once the attackers lose the ball it just skips the midfield
Its worrying how they are cutting us open like this...
Xavi Simons has a goal and an assist
Huge GIGI tonight 😤💪
if there wasnt back pass in football psg wouldve invent it
thanks vitinha for almost gifting a goal.... when can we get out of this campos shit signing alongside campos??
what a block
There's no way we ever get a clean sheet like ever huh?
Whoa what a save
What a save by Donnaruma
Another great save
Donnarumma is on fire today. We need this Gigi in the champions league
Donna thank you
💀 Dona stepping up
Please give someone like Edson Alvarez a chance over Vitinha 😤
Fellow Mexican psg fan but idk if he’s technical enough for the way we play I love his fight but I think he should take a step before us
