In the coupe de France at the beginning of this month, Marseille surprised the great rival from the French capital with energetic play. To the great satisfaction of everything and everyone in Marseille.
PSG went to Marseille with some pressure on Sunday evening, because a new defeat would bring Marseille closer to two points in the standings.
Marseille coach Tudor gambled again by going into the game with an open mind, but this time his plan was skillfully played towards the garbage can by the duo Messi-Mbappé.
With the first and third goal, Messi was the principal and Mbappé the finisher. The roles were reversed on the second goal. Especially with Mbappé’s 0-3, the assist and finish were glorious.
PSG never missed Neymar. With a star less in the attack, there even seemed more balance in the team. Messi and Mbappé did the rest.
Thanks to two extra goals on the counter, Mbappé has been joint top scorer across all competitions at PSG since Sunday evening. With 200 goals under PSG’s shirt, he currently shares that title with Edison Cavani, but the only relevant question is when he will become the sole record holder.
