Last few weeks, we’ve been asking ourselves what’s it going to be once Messi, Mbappe and Neymar team up in PSG’s attacking line.And we still don’t know. But a mighty Mbappe is obviously capable of delivering the fantastic stuff all by himself. The South American duo didn’t travel to Brest, though it seems they weren’t even needed.Paris slot created a dozen of chances in the first half, nearly breaking the deadlock early in the game following a beautiful set-pieces action that involved Icardi, Mbappe and, finally, Veratti. However, the latter missed the target despite being totally unmarked in the middle of the box.Where Veratti failed, Ander Herrera didn’t. A furious run from the midfield found him in a solid position near the edge of the box. His volley was powerful, and although Brest’s keeper did his best to stop it, the scoreboard showed 1-0 for the visitors.Soon enough, the Saints doubled the lead, and the man in charge was none other than Kylian Mbappe. His long-range header stunned Brest players, let alone his teammates and the PSG fans.Mbappe scores his first goal in Ligue 1 this season 💫 pic.twitter.com/wCAMVa8bJa— B/R Football (@brfootball) August 20, 2021 Even though everybody was thinking we’re heading into a Brest catastrophe, the home team bounced back even before the break. A beautiful counter-attack saw Faivre producing an out-of-this-world assist that made Honorat’s job probably the easiest on Earth. It was 2-1.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The second half somehow unexpectedly turned into a lullaby before Idrissa Gueye hit a screamer almost 40 yards out to kill the game and earn a standing ovation in Brest.Idrissa Gueye with a thunder bastard of a goal for PSG. https://t.co/DUvXPXBj3T— jmp121 🏆 #lufc (@Jamesmp121) August 20, 2021 However, Brest’s die-hard squad wasn’t ready to surrender once again. They hit back almost instantly through another counter-attack with a terrific ball movement. Steve Mounie was there to place it behind Keylor Navas and prove that defence is probably Mauricio Pochettino’s weakest link. A pich of drama, however, didn’t change the outcome, although Brest had some serious chances near the stoppage time.Amid their attacks, Paris struck with a spectacular counter-attack. Di Maria – Hakimi – Di Maria connection did all the work, and Di Maria’s beautiful chip was there to finish it in some style.DI MARIA 🤩💥 What a goal in the last moments.
