If all eyes were focused on Leo Messi yesterday after the extraordinary goal he achieved to debut as a scorer at PSG, Mbappé was the best valued by the French press regarding the magic trio that yesterday had the first big night of the season. The French international, despite not scoring, was involved in both goals of the Parisian team against Manchester City and made a fairly complete performance against the runner-up in Europe.
Bondy's talent received a 7 from L´Équipe, who values the uncheck he made in the first goal to enable Gueye and, in addition, the extraordinary technical gesture of the heel with which he practically paved the way for Messi for him to score his first goal as a PSG player. The Argentine received a 6 despite the wonder with which he drove the Park of Princes crazy and Neymar has been the worst valued of the three with a 5, underlining L’Équipe that the Brazilian is still far from being in his physical fullness.
In fact, Messi was the first to congratulate Mbappé moments after breaking the squad with a home-brand shot. The man from Rosario pointed a finger at the forward, who then went to embrace him effusively. It was the first great meeting of the magic trio who has formed PSG this season and with which he hopes, once and for all, to achieve the long-awaited Champions League that Al-Khelaïfi has been pursuing since he landed in 2011 in the French capital. On Sunday, against Rennes, Messi, Mbappé and Neymar have another golden opportunity to gradually get to know each other with their sights on the game against Leipzig on 19 October.
