PSG: Mbappé will shock FC Barcelona, the XXL announcement!
Published on April 15, 2024 at 4:30 a.m.
PSG is not in the best position before challenging FC Barcelona for a place in the semi-final of the Champions League after its defeat in Paris in the first leg (3-2) and the non-match of Kylian Mbappé. For Le Parisien, Javier Pastore wanted to reassure all Paris Saint-Germain followers.
Kylian Mbappé made it through the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League against FC Barcelona without really influencing the outcome of the match. Without a shot on target or an assist, the top scorer in the history of Paris Saint-Germain was therefore unable to prevent his team’s defeat when they hosted Barça at the Parc des Princes (3-2).
Mbappé will make history with PSG?
On Tuesday April 16, in just over 24 hours, the PSG will appear in Montjuic on the lawn of the FC Barcelona in order to achieve what no French club has been able to do in the past: qualify for the next round of a European Cup having lost the first round. And even though Kylian Mbappé is not found in the form of his life, the PSG could still validate his ticket for the semi-finals depending on Javier Pastore for Le Parisien. “Yes, because he has other very high-level profiles. Barcelona were very smart in permanently putting two players on his back on Wednesday. It was very well controlled. But by attracting defenders, he frees up space for others. Which explains why we saw a lot more of (Ousmane) Dembélé on the right side in these one-on-one situations that he likes so much.”
“I am convinced that we will see a great Mbappé on Tuesday”
However, Javier Pastore knows Kylian Mbappé for sharing the locker room PSG with him during his last season in Paris in 2017/2018. For the Argentinian, Mbappé will even be the most efficient to catch up. “I am convinced that we will see a great Mbappé on Tuesday. Knowing him a little, he is the player who will most want to qualify. With PSG’s need to score, they will take responsibility and have a great match.”
“There is no reason to doubt him”
From the point of view of Javier Pastore, Kylian Mbappé will not miss for anything in the world the meeting of the year for the PSG. “In the first leg, he was still dangerous on two or three occasions. The problem is that we are used to each of our actions ending with a goal. There is no reason to doubt him. He will respond.”
