What’s Life Like for PSG After Mbappé?
Here's how PSG has started the Ligue 1 season:
During their visit to Le Havre, Paris Saint-Germain secured a hard-fought 4-1 win. Ousmane Dembélé shone with a crucial goal in the 85th minute, regaining the lead for PSG. The team, led by Dembélé and Bradley Barcola, displayed its offensive potential with additional goals from Barcola and Randal Kolo Muani, who scored a penalty. This victory reaffirms PSG as a formidable team despite the absence of their main star, with standout performances from Dembélé, Barcola, and Kang-In Lee.
PSG continued their goal-scoring spree in Ligue 1 with a resounding 6-0 win over Montpellier. Without Kylian Mbappé, PSG excelled with the talents of Ousmane Dembélé, Kang-In Lee, and Bradley Barcola. Dembélé and Barcola were pivotal in attack, with Barcola scoring twice and Dembélé providing a crucial assist. Kang-In Lee also made an impact with an impressive long-range goal. The team's performance and the contributions of its new stars show that PSG remains a dominant force in the league.
So far, PSG has scored 10 goals in the first two rounds of Ligue 1, an impressive tally for a team that has managed to reinvent itself without a true legend among its ranks.
How Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid Are Faring at the Start of LaLiga:
At Son Moix, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Mallorca in a match that saw Kylian Mbappé’s LaLiga debut, although he was unable to score. Brazilian Rodrygo Goes opened the scoring for Real Madrid with an excellent finish in the 13th minute. However, the team couldn’t hold the lead, and a goal by Vedat Muriqi after a corner and a defensive mistake gave Mallorca the equalizer. Antonio Sánchez had two clear chances to win the game in the final minutes but missed both.
At Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid secured a 3-0 victory over Valladolid, but Kylian Mbappé did not score. Uruguayan Fede Valverde opened the scoring in the second half, followed by a goal from Brahim Díaz. Endrick, who debuted in the 86th minute, sealed the win with a spectacular goal in the 96th minute. Despite a challenging first half, Real Madrid improved in the second period and took advantage of their opportunities to secure the three points.
