Mbappé, back in the limelight
In the absence of Neymar, entry,
Kylian Mbappé was expected to be the blaster of defenses
.
Placed on the left side, the French striker multiplied the sharp acceleration and, above all, opened the mark thanks to his famous burst of speed.
On a counter, and well launched by Di Maria, he escaped the tackle from Sakai, before adjusting Mandanda from the left (9th).
Systematically dangerous, he seems to have returned to his best level.
Icardi has found his favorite prey
Mauro Icardi likes to face OM, it becomes an uncertainty.
In 3 matches against the rival of PSG, he will have scored 4 times against the Marseille club, his favorite prey.
At the origin of the first Parisian goal this Sunday evening, he therefore scored a new achievement of ... back and delivered a beautiful duel with Caleta-Car.
Marquinhos-Verratti, the essentials
The two men are part of the backbone of PSG and when they are present, they greatly secure this Parisian team.
The Parisian captain has, as usual, cut all hot lines and anticipated a good number of Marseille centers.
As for the little Italian, he was the most active player in the midfield and raked a lot of balls, which extinguished the opposing midfield.
Flops
Payet, still missed
The big matches follow one another and the observation remains the same:
Dimitri Payet is not up to the task
.
Often on the left, the Reunionese never succeeded in putting his partners in a favorable position and missed more passes than usual.
As a bonus, he gets kicked out for a bad act on Verratti.
His second expulsion of the season after the trip to ... Lyon, another big missed event.
OM have shown their limits
Despite greater possession of the ball (53%), OM did not really exist in this 100th Classic.
If the intentions were good, the Phocéens posted certain limits in the last 30 meters opposing, with too many vagueness in the play. Despite a good aggressiveness, the Marseillais appeared generally powerless.
Paris can still wonder
This victory obtained at the Vélodrome does not erase the poor content offered by PSG.
Because Pochettino's men have not shown real progress in the game, with no preferential circuit and offensives that have relied more on individualities.
Rather worrying 9 days before the Champions League match at Camp Nou, which is more with the exit on injury of Di Maria and the bad blow taken by Verratti.
