We understood everything about this PSG version Mauricio Pochettino in Munich in the first leg of the Champions League (3-2). We understood that there were at least two bets, one fabulous for the European Cup, cut out for the conquest of space; the other more intermittent for Ligue 1, capable of the sublime as of the pathetic, of pulverizing Lyon (2-4) as of collapsing in front of Nantes (1-2), which only won once during its last eight outings. On the one hand, it's Thomas Pesquet, on the other, homeschooling - it can work. Or not. Educational continuity does not exist with the PSG, between Europe and France. It is this domestic version which starts this Saturday at 5 p.m. in Metz, honorable 9th in the championship at the start of the 34th day of L 1, more comfortable outside than in Saint-Symphorien.No doubt the problem of an attack with statistics closer to a relegation than a mid-table.
But the essential is elsewhere for the club of the capital.
He scouts this day to put pressure in front and behind, while Monaco goes to Angers this Sunday and before two of the first four clash in the uncertain and exciting Lyon-Lille in the evening at 9 p.m.
To find out what suits Paris in this shock, undoubtedly an OL victory or a draw, you must first accomplish the job, temporarily take the lead and then wait on the couch for the rest.
The week when PSG gave lessons in sports ethics and good manners to Europe by rejecting the felicitous idea of the Super League, becoming the boss of the French Championship again would look like a magnificent way to conclude it.
“We will have to be at a very high level to achieve our goals in the three competitions,” Pochettino recalls.
In Moselle, he will revive Kylian Mbappé, on the bench against Angers during the victory (5-0) Wednesday in the quarter-final of the Coupe de France. Everything depends on him now. He qualifies his partners in the Champions League in Barcelona as in Munich, takes care of current affairs in Strasbourg (1-4) and wakes up the Parisian smala when she sleeps on Sunday at 1 p.m. by receiving Saint-Etienne (3-2) . He is everywhere, in all the right things, already with 35 goals in 41 games this season, not far from his personal best (39 achievements in 43 games during the 2018-2019 season). We know that too, but for a longer time: there are two PSGs but there is only one Kylian Mbappé.
