Mbappe missed but Neymar prevented a defeat in Paris

The perfect record is over, the Parisians have lost their first two points of the season and Kylian Mbappe had a terrible night. That could be a quick recap of tonight’s surprise draw at Le Parc des Princes, where the home team and Monaco finished the game 1-1. Even thou the Parisians are the most superior team in League 1, the team from the South of France are actually really good against Mbappe and co: they have won three of the last four meetings between these two teams, and they nearly done it tonight. They took the lead, they were brave, they attacked and pressed PSG, and they were a bit lucky too, but they totally deserved one point.27 – Paris have hit the woodwork 27 times in Ligue 1 since the start of last season, at least 11 more times than any other team over the period. Unlucky. #PSGASM pic.twitter.com/YGzLIJZGDt— OptaJean (@OptaJean) August 28, 2022 On the other hand, the new boss in PSG team, Kylian Mbappe had a terrible day. He is usually very efficient against his former club, as he scored 10 goals, along with six assists in his last 11 meetings with Monaco, but tonight was not his night. He had 8 shots on goal and managed to miss the empty net. It was actually his teammate Neymar who saved the day.After thrashing Lille 7-1, Christophe Galtier made only one change, as newly acquired Renato Sanchez was introduced ahead of newly required Vitinha. On the other hand, coach Clement decided to change 5 players after a humiliating 4-1 against Lens. Guillermo Maripan, Ruben Aguilar, Mohamed Camara, Kevin Volland, Youssouf Fofana and Aleksandr Golovin all come in and it was the German who made a quick 1-0 after only 20 minutes. The Parisians had most of the possession but couldn’t do anything with it, mainly due to Mohamed Camara’s excellent midfielder display. Brought from Salzburg this summer, the Malian international was fouled and bruised throughout the game, but was unstoppable. Messi and Mbappe missed the opportunity of the season in the 45th minute, as the pair hit the woodwork twice in the same attack.Wonderful game of Camara in his 1st start for Monaco. Was all over the pitch, showed great press resistance and full understanding of the game. For only 15 million, he might be one of the best signings of the summer! pic.twitter.com/KNZo0bcIyM— FutureCentro – Players Of The Future (@FutureCentro) August 28, 2022 Second half was pretty much PSG possession, and Monaco attacked from the counter, nearly doubling the lead after Ben Yedder’s shot in the 47th minute. And then Neymar stepped up and helped his team equalize. The Brazilian forced Maripan to tackle him inside the penalty area, which was confirmed by VAR, and then he scored from the penalty area for the draw. PSG had better chances after an equalizer, but Mbappe shot straight at Nubel, while Hakimi smashed the woodwork. The game ended with a draw, and coach Clement can surely be satisfied.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 4FridayAjaccio – Lille 1-3 (0-2)/Bayala 84 – Yazici 17, Bamba 43, Djalo 67/SaturdayAuxerre – Strasbourg 1-0 (1-0)/Perrin 29/Lens – Rennes 2-1 (0-0)/Fofana 66, Openda 70 – Laborde 90+1/SundayNantes – Toulouse Brest – Montpellier 0-7 (0-5)/Maouassa 6, Wahi 10, 31, Khazri 11, Kozza 25, Germain 64, 84/Lorient – Clermont 2-1 (1-0)/Moffi 24, 41 – Cham 62/Nice – Olympique Marseille 0-3 (0-3) /Sanchez 10, 42.
