Kylian Mbappé Was surely the most disappointing player of the gone of the semifinals of this Champions League between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City. The French was one of the big attractions of the meeting and expected that it was resolutivo, but the reality was entirely opposite. The forward almost did not take part in the offensive game of his team and went through the crash with more penalty that glory.
The '7' played of leading centre and was the big offensive reference of his team, something that does not do him feel too comfortable. The Parisian enjoys with freedom and spaces, something that cost him a lot have between the two head offices of the City, that him amargaron the night. It fell to bands whenever it could to try offer and activate, but asked it too many times to the foot and this did not help him in his attempt.
At the end, the reality was that Mbappé was not to the height in a meeting in which his team needed him more than ever. In the first part, the French were upper in group and in the individual thanks to the partidazo of Neymar Jr, to Marco Verratti and to Ángel Gave María, that were to a level sensacional. But in the second, with his more turn# off mates in front of the pressure of the City, Kylian would have to have taken a step forward that it did not give.
Once finished the duel with defeat for the PSG by 1-2, the statistical data leave even more clear the reason by which the international 'bleu' managed without penalty neither glory by the Park of the Princes. In total, the ex of the Monaco only touched the ball 30 times, less even that Ederson and Keylor Navas, goalkeepers of the City and of Paris Saint-Germain, that touched 31 and 53, respectively. A data demoledor that puts in evidence the performance of the tip.
During the meeting already was leaving the feeling of not being appearing and of not finding his place in the field, something that these numbers show even more clearly. Besides, it lost eleven times the balloon, only won two of five duels contested, only completed a dribbling and did not throw neither between the three sticks neither went. Have not shot neither an alone time is the perfect summary of what was Mbappé against the English.
Only it created danger once in all the party
The only dangerous action of the French was in the second part, still with the 1-0 in the marker. The Frenchman seated to his marker inside the area by the right after several cuts and threaten, and put a very dangerous ball to the heart of the area to which did not arrive by millimetres Verratti. To having touched the ball the Italian would have been the 2-0 and the eliminatory would have put very of face for the PSG, but the midfield player did not arrive and now Kylian and his will have to trace back in Manchester.
