He isn't 19 yet. Obafemi Martins eat your heart out.
Simply an incredible talent. It's not even 'potential' anymore, the kid is already doing the job of an established player.
The latest goal. Goalkeeper should have saved it but good technique from Mbappe to make the goalie think he was going to cross it in instead of shooting.
the reaction of the ballboy next to EmeryAssist for Cavani's goal.
It's actually not been a very good last couple of games for Mbappe. He has been wasteful and made some poor decisions throughout the game. What is reassuring is that despite that, he still contributed two assists and a goal in the games against Dijon and Anderlecht. Even in a form dip, he still has an impact and that's important for young players.
Despite PSG's performances in the CL so far, I'm concerned about their gameplan. It seems to me there is no cohesion outside of Mbappe and Neymar. Their midfield and defense is almost indistinguishable and there seems to be very little tactics outside of getting the ball up-front and let's see what happens. It's fine for the group stages and against a Bayern in chaos, but against the better teams I can see PSG getting ridiculed once again this year on the big stage if they don't improve. Really disappointed in Unai Emery's lack of imprint on this team thus far.

Cavani ended up hitting the bar. Good passage of play though.
How would our defense fare against Mbappe , Neymar and co.?

He definitely has the potential to reach the level of Maradona, Pele, Zidane, Messi, and Ronaldo, which is a level above "journalist's world class level".
Once-a-few-decades-talent.

Absolutely fine i would think. Neymar is Neymar, but I don't buy into the hype with the others just yet. They are playing training games so far. Let's wait until they get into the latter stages of the CL and play some real opposition.
The 9 of them would probably make it difficult for the three of them.
Like when they played Bayern the other week ?
Have you seen Bayern this season!
Yes every game. Its not like Madrid league spell has been magnificent so far. In that case the only Teams that would make a real opposition, are Barca and ManCity.
Poor performance by the looks of it last night
Can change the title to wins Golden Boy award

He's had a run of average-to-poor games the last few outings. In those other poor games, he still would make an impact with a goal or an assist, but here he had close to no impact. He also needs to cut down on his diving, I'm sure Neymar will be a positive influence with that.
Still, well-deserved Golden Boy award. What he's done at 18 is nothing short of incredible.
Edit: Wow, that Golden Boy award wasn't even a contest, 291 out of 300 votes.
Well deserved, shame I forgot about yesterday's match.
Rated as the worst player. Surprising as many believed he will never have a poor game as his decision making is awesome.
He was terrible yesterday. Still think he's being wasted out on the right
He's actually done really well so far from there, it's not a position he's unfamiliar with. The dynamic of their offense is working most of the time, even in such early stages. Besides, Mbappe drifts around the field, it's not as if Emery's got him under strict positional instructions.
Whoa. Only 9 votes for Rashford?
Here we go again...no he wont...Even Neymar still a level below those who you have mentioned.
Passed Henry first...
Yes l'Equipe biased as usual. They have to present it as a victory for OM for business puposes.
What do you mean 291/300? Dembele got 149He's had a run of average-to-poor games the last few outings.

It's 291 points for a maximum of 300, record of the golden boy award. I'm not sure how it's counted but there's usually points for more than top place in these kind of votes.
He is still a very young player. I didnt watch the match but not shocked he played poorly this is what happens with young footballers they are inconsistent.
He is still an incredible talent. The same thing happens with Rashford and Martial from time to time and they are just as talented.

They have always felt the need to belittle great players.
As you know, France Football & L'équipe are partners.
For example- Summer 2015 - Title means PSG should sell Zlatan. Zlatan, thank you and bye bye".
The following season, he just scored 50 goals in 51 games.... and his ratings weren't very great: we are talking about the greatest scorer in the history of the French league IMO
That's true, Cavani also had consistently bad ratings last season despite being the best player in L1.They have always felt the need to belittle great players.

It's compensation for writing about PSG all the time they talk shite more often than not to please fans of other teams.
In the history of the French league, I would even say Cavani is the 2nd greatest scorer. Papin was good but Cavani is a beast.
Also, let's compare the former star Pauleta with Cavani. You can see Pauleta doesn't jump.
Mbappe is starting to dive more and more too.
Even criticised a ref saying referees should be punished for mistakes too, it is Neymar with the influence.

To be fair to Neymar, I don't think Mbappe's diving any more than he always has, which is quite a bit when he's losing the ball trying to get past his man.
Also, maybe I'm in the wrong here, but I tend to agree with Mbappe. The referees in Ligue 1 are terrible, and this was one of the most important game of the season and there were some crucial mistakes made by the ref on acts that happened right in front of him. Just a little while ago, another referee sent off the wrong player; if it wasn't so terrible, it'd be funny how bad they are in this league. They should be held to a higher standard if the league is really looking to grow globally. I can't think of a single referee that stands out in that regard, and is capable of controlling a game without resorting to needless red cards to the detriment of the game itself.
But sadly the Neymar red card was fully deserves, when already on a yellow it is such a stupid thing to do.
I like what I've seen from Letexier so far. It's his first season and he's still very young but I can see him having a great refereeing career.
@BBRBB How has Mbappe being overall since joining? Is he looking like he'll one day be worth the money or an expensive flop?
Not sure how he's being playing but surely PSG would benefit from an actual attacking right winger than trying to shoe horn in Mbappe due to the massive investment.
Genuine question, I honestly haven't watched PSG play once this year.

Actually he upset a lot of French fans recently for immature comments about the match against Marseille as well
He's been excellent and I think right wing is a good position for him.
Of course vultures are waiting for every opportunity and any reason to criticize him. Marseille away was his first real poor game for us.
That happens any pricey player though, it's the jealous nature of football. Like I said I haven't seen him/PSG play this year but at the start of the season I'd have swapped 10 Rashfords for him. The fact that they were mentioned in the same breath was hilarious.
Saying refs should be punished is laughable. Perhaps players can help refs perform better by stopping the constant flopping about and playacting and whining. No other pro sport where both teams are constantly trying to cheat and influence the officials.
Exactly. All 22 players try their best to con refs and somehow cry when it goes against them.
