In this round of Ligue 1 , Paris Saint-Germain faced Monaco at home. The two sides drew 1-1. This was the first time Paris Saint-Germain failed to defeat its opponent this season. This French Ligue 1 giant was upset in this campaign, and the sinner was Mbappe . After 90 minutes, he missed at least 3 opportunities, causing Paris to lose 2 points in vain.
In the 19th minute of this game, Paris Saint-Germain unfortunately lost the ball. Monaco sent a through ball in the counterattack. Flanders got the ball and pushed the ball into the goal. Paris Saint-Germain fell behind 0-1.
Fortunately, in the second half, Neymar broke through in the penalty area, was tripped to the ground by a Monaco player, and got a penalty kick for Paris. Then he took the penalty and scored, so Paris did not lose humiliatingly at home.
Having said that, Paris shot 18-4 in this game. They had an absolute advantage at home, but they were unable to defeat their opponents. The reason was Mbappe. The French genius wasted at least three opportunities in this campaign, leaving the Paris fans speechless.
Before the end of the first half, Mbappe got consecutive shooting opportunities. Unexpectedly, he made a follow-up shot in the penalty area. Once he was blocked by the visiting team player, and once the empty goal hit the post. Especially this next opportunity, as long as the shot is on target, it will definitely go in.
In the 84th minute of the second half, Mbappe also got a single chance. If this goal is scored, it will undoubtedly be a winner. As a result, after Mbappe got the ball, he started hastily under the interference of the opponent's defender. In the end, the visiting team's goalkeeper didn't even have to save, because Mbappe's shot hit his chest and bounced directly.
After missing the opportunity, Mbappe himself was very upset. In the 87th minute, the Paris coach made continuous adjustments, hoping to make a last ditch effort. At this time, something incredible happened. I saw that Galtier replaced Messi with Sarabia, but did not replace Mbappe.
Although Messi did not score a goal in this game, he was the initiator of the Paris attack. It can be said that this Argentina superstar dominated the team's offense. When there was still time, Galtier chose to take Messi off and leave Mbappe on the court. This operation was really a bit embarrassing. Messi sitting on the bench also looked puzzled. He must have wanted to I don't understand the coach's decision, why not replace Mbappe, who frequently wastes opportunities, but replace himself?
Since renewing his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, it has been widely rumored that Mbappe has special privileges in the team. Many fans have nicknamed him "King Mbappe". At least from now on, Mbappe does have a transcendent status in Paris, even Messi can't compare. Do you think the substitutions of Paris Saint-Germain in this game are questionable?
