"An evening to dazzle": the chronicle of Benoît Lallement

The reunion with Barça, nearly four years after the disastrous comeback, will give rise to an enticing duel at a distance between Lionel


We could move the knife in the wound of the remorada, this "Spanish" that the PSG made enter, with its not very defending body, in the common language since a disastrous Wednesday of 2017. A trauma of which the Parisians are not yet healed and who may not fade with a qualification against Barcelona this year.

We could yes ... But at the time of looking at this gala Barça-PSG, which, the time of an enchanted and silent parenthesis, could make us forget the curfew, another memory emerges.

With Messi in one camp and Mbappé, not yet a Parisian during the famous 6-1, in the other.

But the two stars had put on another jersey.

On June 30, 2018, in Kazan, France and Argentina played in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

The Argentine genius was out of his box, involved in 2 of the 3 goals of his Albiceleste.

But he had been suffocated, eclipsed, eliminated (4-3) by a rising star.

A player in weightlessness, "the new Pelé", "the boss of the Blues", as we wrote then, crediting him with a 9.5 out of 10. "He took care of everything.

He causes a penalty, scores a double.

Each of his shots resounded like a fire alarm.

“Particularly his fantastic ride at 37 km / h, ended with a penalty.

That day, Kylian signed his entry into the big world.

It was then a kid who dared everything, did not forbid himself anything and had little or no doubt.

It's the Mbappé that we love, that we admire.

Since then, he has sometimes looked for himself, sometimes groped.

And we forgot that he is only 22 years old.

It's true, some days he made us bitch.

But tonight… Yes, it's a night to grow taller.

To shine, let go of dazzle.

One evening for him.

One evening to be happy that Kylian Mbappé is Parisian, and hope that he will stay that way for a long time.
