Warned for the third time in ten games during the defeat in Nantes (3-1), the striker will be suspended for the displacement of Ligue 1, qua


Like many Parisians, Kylian Mbappé left the Beaujoire stadium upset and in disbelief in the face of several decisions by referee Mikaël Lesage.

It is true that several facts particularly concern him.

First, there is this tackle from behind and late from Pallois who turned his left ankle and left him on the ground, writhing in pain, for long minutes (37th).

The Nantes defender was not warned.

No more than Appiah yet guilty of a new tackle on him and sanctioned with a penalty (58th).

Before the break, the Nantes player had received a red card, requalified in yellow after recourse to the VAR (44th).

The absence of a second warning and therefore of expulsion for this new fault at the origin of the penalty - missed by Neymar - remains the strongest reason for PSG's anger, as Leonardo and Marco Verratti have pointed out.

Kylian Mbappé was warned in the 83rd minute after a gesture of frustration against Jean-Charles Castelletto.

Already warned against Brest, then Rennes, he will therefore be suspended for the trip to Nice, Saturday, March 5, four days before the knockout round of the Champions League on the lawn of Real Madrid.

Between now and the European meeting, all that remains is the reception of Saint-Étienne, next Saturday (9 p.m.) to perfect the automation of the MMN.

This is the second time this season that Mbappé has been suspended in this way.

At the end of last year, he had already missed the trip to Lorient for this reason.

In the meantime, Mbappé is still two lengths behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 156 goals in the ranking of PSG's top scorers in all competitions.

For his part, Marco Verratti will experience the same fate against Saint-Étienne.

Note that six Parisians were warned by Mr. Lesage on Saturday evening.
