The finger of blame was pointed at Kylian Mbappe for PSG's latest Champions League failure, but he cannot do it all alone.
Kylian Mbappe is expected to leave Paris for Real Madrid this summer, having so far failed to claim Europe's biggest prizeOn Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund played a magnificent game to defeat the favourites to reach the final, Paris St-Germain.
Yes it’s true, Mbappe was poor compared to the standards he has previously set but, while he didn’t have a good night, he is not to blame for the French champions’ exit from the competition. For a young team which went through a lot of change over the summer, the onus should have been on forging connections on the pitch rather than constant change - stopping them from developing chemistry and understanding.
There was little connection between the players on the flanks. Mbappe and Nuno Mendes didn’t work well together, with the latter only pushing forward more once PSG were 1-0 down. Regularly we saw Mbappe forced to take on more than one player as Dortmund players surrounded him. The great Barcelona side under Pep Guardiola, Real Madrid, Manchester City and more have all been able to count on a tactically intelligent and creative midfield department to feed the attack and protect the defence.
Was Messi not part of the Barcelona side humbled 8-2 by Bayern Munich? Was he not the worst rated player in the humiliating 3-0 loss to Roma in 2018, which led to their exit from the competition?
