Tops / Flops PSG-Lille: Paris thanks Navas again, Lille too inefficient

2021-03-17T19:14:20.018Z


The decisive parades of Navas, the double of a still valuable Mbappé, but also the difficulties of Losc: find the Tops and Flops of the editorial staff at the end of this match between PSG and Lille (3-0).


Tops

Keylor Navas still impassable


The PSG will end up erecting a statue to him.

Because

Keylor Navas still responded present in his cage

.

While he was not expected to play this Cup match, the Costa Rican goalkeeper was simply impeccable from start to finish.

On parade on a first action from Yilmaz (5th), he was then saved by his bar on a second strike from the Turkish striker (30th).

But it was in the second half that he was decisive when his team was struggling physically.

Repelling attempts by David (63rd), Bamba (68th) and, above all, Yazici on a penalty (78th), Navas is undoubtedly the strong man of the moment on the Parisian side.

Mbappé, an entry and a double


Left on the entry bench, Kylian Mbappé had to come into play before the break following Icardi's injury.

And the French wasted no time in being decisive.

A minute after his entry, he thus caused a penalty which he transformed without trembling (42nd).

The only player to really show off the ball in the second half, he often found himself isolated on the left wing.

But he was able to stay focused throughout the match, which allowed him to sign yet another winning rush at the last minute concluded with a subtle ballooning (90th + 4).

Diallo, reliable in central defense


To replace Kimpembe, left at rest, Abdou Diallo has held his place alongside Marquinhos in central defense.

Involved in the duels, he pushed back a good number of opposing centers thanks to an impeccable placement and reading of the game.

Also serene to revive his team, he represents a rather reliable solution in a rearguard somewhat jostled at times.

Di Maria has forgotten his setbacks


Touched by personal worries on Sunday and inefficient lately, Angel Di Maria seemed to have regained his legs for one evening.

Rather striking on his right wing, the Argentinian is at the origin of the first Parisian goal on a vicious center.

He was then interesting in his technical stints, even if he experienced a drop in speed at the end of the game.

Flops

Lille paid for its lack of success


So formidable usually by its efficiency,

Lille was not having a great night at the Parc des Princes

.

Already in difficulty in the game, showing themselves timid especially in the first period, the Mastiffs would still have been able to score without a lack of opportunism marked by two good opportunities for Yilmaz and others in the second half, including a penalty missed by Yazici who could have made the end of the match more indecisive.

The leader of Ligue 1 seemed more borrowed in this Cup meeting.

Djalo's nightmare


The Lille defender had a very complicated meeting at the Parc des Princes.

Far from being imperial in the duels, he is at fault on the three goals conceded by his team by missing his intervention on the first, causing the penalty bringing the second and being overtaken by Mbappé on the third.

A game to definitely forget for the Portuguese.
