Nübel decisive again

Criticized lately because of his number of goals conceded, Alexander Nübel reacted well in this gala match.

If he had to bow on a penalty from Neymar, the German goalkeeper was also irreproachable by showing a lot of personality in his cage.

He was also decisive with four saves, some of which were spectacular, like this duel won against Neymar, or this strike from Mbappé pushed back… from the chest.

Like the great goalkeepers, he was saved by three shots on his uprights.

Camara, the good pickaxe

Arrived this summer from Salzburg, Mohamed Camara is responsible for replacing Aurélien Tchouaméni in this Monegasque team.

And the least we can say is that he passed his first big test perfectly.

Omnipresent in the midfield, he disconcerted all the Parisians who came to rub shoulders with him.

Not hesitating to jostle, he let his aggressiveness speak to hinder the opposing technicians and recovered a lot of balls.

Without forgetting to restart properly.

His presence was fundamental in this good ASM result and his exit hurt his team.

The pistons, alone on the Parisian side

In a more disappointing Parisian team, the sides still distinguished themselves.

On the left, Nuno Mendes multiplied the round trips and brought a lot offensively.

He notably stood out on a superb opening towards Mbappé at the end of the game.

As for Achraf Hakimi, he also has significant support on the right side and could have been the hero of the match if not for a shot on the post (75th).

FLOPS

Paris loses its first points

This match against Monaco is undoubtedly a small alert for PSG, barely ten days before their first Champions League meeting against Juventus.

Jostled by conquering Monegasques, the Parisians encountered difficulties in getting out of the opposing pressure at the start of the game.

They thus had to wait for the opposing fatigue to point the tip of their nose.

But this part shows them how not everything will be so simple this season.

Renato Sanches, first failed

For his first tenure at PSG, Renato Sanches missed his match.

The Portuguese appeared contracted and never let go, contenting himself with back passes most of the time.

He didn't really play his box-to-box role and even got lost in the field.

Before being the first to give way.

To review.

Mbappé, not successful

The French striker attempted no less than 9 shots, including 3 on target, but it was not the best version of Mbappé this Sunday evening.

The world champion often chose the individual rather than collective solution and sometimes thwarted.

Finding the amount on a shot from close range, he also missed a few chances in the second half.

A match to forget against his training club.
