New Year New Life. That saying wants to apply the PSGclinging for the moment to the brilliance of Mbappe. The team saves all its efforts for the tie against Real Madrid in the Champions League, but the Frenchman does not think about the future. Before him Vannes, on the French Cup, signed a recital, three goals and another example of professionalism. Another night in which the usual trident was only the French, the only essential for Pochettino (0-4).
Without Messi, confined like Danilo -the fifth positive at PSG-, and without Neymar, who still has left to return to the routine, Kylian managed alone. PSG dominated without intimidating. Al tran tran, convinced that it was a matter of time before the first goal would arrive. Ander Herrera’s shot to the doll was the clearest chance before the 0-1, which came through a corner kick finished off at the far post by Kimpembe.
The meeting was run aground, the PSG he breathed easy. Pochettino had time to verify that Xavi Simons has special footballer conditions. A smart guy who knows when he has to come down to receive the ball to help his teammates and when others have to offer himself to space to stretch the opposing team. The Vannes on occasion he hinted at the backlash, but Donnarumma hardly appeared on the scene.
After the break, the PSG It was a steamroller. Or rather, Mbappe. The Frenchman took advantage of a deep pass to score the 0-2 in a one-on-one. The best detail was saved for the final leg. Verratti took out his claws to recover a divided ball, Xavi Simons looked at 7 into space and he, without looking at the goal, drew a beautiful shot to the squad. Mbappe he rounded off the night with a hat-trick after a play preceded by an offside, but there is still no VAR in this round. PSG spent more than enough.
