Before facing Milan next Wednesday on the third day of the Champions League, Luis Enrique’s PSG did their homework in the French league and comfortably beat Strasbourg 3-0 on Saturday. With the win, the ‘Lucho’ team temporarily leads the French competition this Saturday, waiting for Nice to do this Saturday night.
Mbappé was the great opponent of the match, everywhere and a nightmare for weak Strasbourg, with the Spanish connection formed by Carlos Soler and Fabián Ruiz. The French star opened the scoring by converting the penalty, assisting Carlos Soler with a stratospheric play for the Valencian to score the second goal. And Fabián tied the victory with a great goal, a work of art, PSG’s third.
The Paris team came out like a storm and soon turned the game on its head. In the 8th minute, a clear penalty to Gonzalo Ramos, who was knocked down in the area, was converted by Mbappé to make the score 1-0.
Luis Enrique’s students happily promised them, but Strasbourg soon announced that they did not come from a troop. In the 11th minute, Mothiba scored a fine goal to level the score at 1-1, but VAR disallowed it for offside, allowing Carlos Soler in the illegal position of the visiting striker.
When the threat ended, PSG stepped on the accelerator again but did not dominate easily, it was not a roller despite attacking from all sides, as Strasbourg did not lose face in the rivalry and defended themselves with order . Mbappé had several half-clear chances, but it was Carlos Soler who began to put victory on course on the half-hour mark. The former Valencia player confirmed his possession with a fine goal, but he would do well to thank Mbappé for the death pass after a fantastic ‘play’ by the French star, who came in and left two defenders sitting there are brutal breaks. Mbappé’s playing is a work of art.
Before the break the local third could have fallen after a well-combined counterplay between Mbappé and Carlos Soler, but the Spaniard couldn’t get it right.
After the restart, Strasbourg came out a bit stronger, but it was a mirage as Mbappé declared again that he wanted to be the star. In the 54th minute, the French international stood up like a flash but between the goalkeeper and a defender, his wallet was stolen just as the goal was called.
The rivalry was waning with a temporary PSG and looked bleak in Wednesday’s Champions League duel, but in the 65th minute the alarms went off when Mbappé fell ill on the green. A hard kick by Gerzino on the Parisian star’s left ankle silenced the stadium, as it appeared to be a serious injury, but after a few minutes of uncertainty Kylian rejoined and the game resumed.
In the final stages, Strasbourg stretched and managed to score a goal of honor in several clear chances, but they were dumbfounded in front of goal. The complete opposite of PSG who scored the third and the sentence with a great goal from Fabián Ruiz in the 77th minute. Carlos Soler assisted him and the Andalusian, in the middle of the area, made a ‘suit’ for two defenders and finished well with a placed left foot. Stellar both. PSG have done their homework and are looking forward to the Champions League match against Milan.
