MESSI DIDN'T CELEBRATE MBAPPE's GOAL against REAL and 5 other things we noticed | PSG REAL MADRID “We had a very, very good game. The players played as a great team. We controlled the game from the first minute to the last, up until the goal. It was a perfect game,” and these were the words of the satisfied PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi. COURTOIS = THE WORLD’S BEST GOALKEEPER? As we have already mentioned, the score 1:0 does not reflect the advantage that the Parisians should have had! It's all the fault of his Majesty Thibaut Courtois! The goalkeeper, who was heavily criticized by the Madrid media in his first season at Santiago Bernabéu, is now considered one of the world’s best goalies! It was he who carried Real to Parc des Princes! 40 million euros for his transfer from Chelsea were a short change at current rates! Courtois made 9 saves throughout the match, and it was largely thanks to him that Real did not leave for Spain with lots of shots conceded. Definitely the best player in the Ancelotti squad that evening! Moreover, the fact of him reflecting a penalty take from Lionel Messi deserves a separate spot. It turns out that for the Belgian it was a fairly simple task: “As for the penalty I saved from Messi, I worked a lot on technique in training. I knew that I would jump to my left, as Messi had not scored several times when he hit in the opposite direction. It was obvious that in a game of this level of importance, he would shoot in the most confident direction for himself. In the match against Nice, he did just that, so I easily made the right decision in the end," revealed the Belgian performer. Kylian Mbappe is the man of the match and the future football king! "Mbappe is unstoppable, we have tried to control him, Militao has done very well but he can always invent something and he invented it at the last minute," Ancelotti noted. “Mbappé is an alien. He produces a show on the pitch & off of it, he is a player apart," Donnarumma told Sky Italia. And many, many compliments to the spectacular Kylian Mbappe followed! He was PSG's lethal weapon and rightly was named the man of the match: earned a penalty, created several killing chances, terrorized Carvajal and half of the Madrid squad, and finally - managed to scored a phenomenal goal solo! After his success, everyone just went: “Mbappe is the best player in the world!” and “PSG is the TEAM of KYLIAN MBAPPE, not the team of Leo Messi or Neymar.” Indeed, the departure of Mbappe next summer could be an actual tragedy for the Paris Saint-Germain project, but now Kylian does not even think about it: “I don’t need a match with Real Madrid to realize that I play for one of the best clubs in the world. I'm happy at PSG," the French striker said after the game. MESSI did not celebrate PSG's goal? He is really unhappy! Messi received a 3 out of 10 score from L'Équipe for his performance versus Real Madrid - the worst among PSG performers. And such sad results of Leo's play often come up after the Red and Blues games. Okay, Messi created 5 scoring chances - a great number, but against the backdrop of Mbappe and even Neymar the Argentine absolutely faded away. Perhaps we got to see the final transformation of Messi as a professional - from now on he plays as a midfielder with the role of an assistant, who arranges attacking attempts, but has no more strength to finish them. “He is a shadow of himself”, “In Barcelona we saw the real Messi'', “Messi retired ahead of schedule, he is no longer a top performer!” - how many such comments have you seen after the first tie? .. We personally have seen A LOT! A missed penalty in such a moment illustrates Messi's entire spell at PSG - Leo got a little lost in this team, despite them trying to comfort him, everything shows that he is unhappy and NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE BARCELONA IN THE FIRST PLACE. Journalist Maria Garrido drew attention to the fact of Messi rather calmly celebrating Mbappe's last minute winner. They objected to her by posting pictures of a smiling Leo, although she rightly noted that in Barca Messi celebrated in a completely different way - more enthusiastically, with a lightning fast reaction. Here is his celebration of a goal against Sevilla in last year's Copa del Rey - for comparison. There is something telling to note in this behavior. Don’t you agree?

THAT'S WHY PSG WON'T WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! Hello everyone! The Matchday 1 of the Champions League is over! Are you surprised with the results? That was the Champions League at its best! “Manchester United” was beaten in Switzerland, “Barcelona” got shattered at “Camp Nou”, and “PSG” - by the way, one of the main favorites of the race - had a poor performance against humble “Brugge”, resulting in a draw… There were a lot of talks spreading around the Parisians - the greatest line-up ever seen, an ingenious transfer campaign, a huge injection of money into salaries! The owners of “PSG” can meet any of the club’s needs, if only it would be the best example of the most powerful force in the European arena! Unfortunately, this is not enough to succeed! There have already been such precedents in history when a club gathered the best players around the world into a Hollywood-level squad on the pitch, but the roster could not play alongside each other as one team ... Remember this story? [Real Madrid from the Galacticos era] We believe that there are too many factors for the fact of “PSG” not seeing the Champions League Cup in its trophy cabinet this season! Now we will lay out everything from the shelves in detail. In the meantime, check if you are subscribed to our channel. Is the button gray? Then everything is super! Moreover, support us with your likes! Well, we proceed to start! 1. Too much stars in the squad - everyone wants to be in charge The first reason why PSG will not win the big eared cup is that there are too many football celebrities in the team. TOO. MANY. CELEBRITIES. PSG's roster is packed with top players of all levels who have already made a name for themselves and it seems very tough to combine them into one team. Take, for example, the sensational trio: in the attacking line, “PSG” gathered Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar. On Wednesday in the match versus “Club Brugge” they appeared together in the starting lineup for the first time, but hadn’t managed to really show anything really significant. There was no breakthrough in the attack - Ander Herrera was the one to score the only goal for PSG in this game. Former Ballon d’Or winner Michael Owen had a say about PSG's stellar roster: “As much as we drool over them, this PSG team with those forwards, they're all phenomenal players in their own right. But three together makes it weaker for me and I don't really understand why they're one of the favourites for the Champions League. I think the English teams are far, far superior." Besides, the stars with the hard character of “PSG” are not only in the line of attack. Poor Xavi Simons is forced to have another run in the UEFA Youth League for a season as there is simply no room for youngsters in the Parisians’ starting eleven. Nothing is clear with the goalkeeper's position too - will they remain with Keylor Navas again? Obviously, Gianluigi Donnarumma came not to warm up the bench, so he’ll insist on playing from the starting whistle, and this may well provoke a conflict. Remember the case with "galacticos". In the 2004/05 campaign, Real Madrid managed to collect on the pitch four Ballon d'Or holders at once: Michael Owen, whose words we have already mentioned today, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and Luis Figo. Also the legendary David Beckham joined the team, the pupils of “Real” Raul and Guti ... And this squad won nothing. Everyone preferred to drag the blanket over themselves and bask in the glory, but it was disastrous for the team’s success. At this moment, on the pitch, “PSG” also has a bunch of great players, but no team. 2. The manager is not a winner 3. The Kylian Mbappe factor (wanted to leave, but did not leave) 4. Capricious superstars in attack and Messi’s adaptation 5. Different lineups for different tasks Well, the fifth reason on our list is the strange approach to the formation of the club's roster. Since the beginning of the season, in every game Pochettino has made some kind of lineup changes. Besides, for the Champions League fixture versus “Brugge”, the coach put up almost all units he had, whilst in Ligue 1 he often protects the top-notch performers, not allowing them to get full-fledged playing experience with each other. In the national league of France, the competitors are much simpler to deal with, so you can save the stars on the bench. What if someone gets hurt? Who will be there, then, to play in Europe? What about the superstars cast? Rotation is a good thing, it is necessary for a long season with many tournaments, but not according to the principle “we leave the major starting eleven for the Champions League, and the non-major starting eleven for Ligue 1”. Because of that, we really saw no proper interactions in PSG during the game against Club Brugge. Not everything is worked out only in training - the constant practice is a must, albeit in a championship with low competition. #messi #psg #football
