Newcastle vs PSG: Player Ratings

And we're saying how happy the Newcastle fans are waking up this morning. The Paris Saint-Germain fans will be hoping it was all a dream. What are they saying in the papers out there in France, Mark? Well, as you can imagine, it's not been great. L'Equipe is the biggest daily newspaper in France dedicated to sports, and they've been pretty brutal with their player ratings. Take a look at this. Kylian Mbappé got a 2 out of 10, and you can see most of the players across that PSG side not really getting very good ratings. Zé Emery, the 17-year-old in the middle of the park, with a 6, but he gets the only 6 in that PSG side. I give them a 10 as well. Guys, let's talk about those ratings for the Newcastle players in L'Equipe this morning. Surely that Weldy from Cher warrants more than a 7? That's four points from two games in the group of death. Group of death? What group of death? Nothing to be scared of. Those next two games are going to be really, really crucial, but if they can beat Dortmund at home, they've got seven points, that puts them in such a favourable position going into those last three games. Yeah, of course, a lot of talk ahead of the game was about Kylian Mbappe. Kieran Trippier said his son even wanted to walk out with him. He said, if you do, then don't even look at me. But they did a great job on him, didn't they? Yeah, the man that scored 50 goals for club and country last season. Seven of those were in the Champions League. The man that cost PSG £130m and turned down a £300m move to Saudi Arabia this summer in the pockets of the Newcastle defenders. Here's the story of his game in numbers. He played 90 minutes, of course, didn't score, just the one shot, successful take-ons. Kylian Mbappe, zero expected goals, 0.02. World-class in every way, just not last night. But he'll be back. Sam and Michael, though, this is the question. Was this just a rare off-night for Kylian Mbappe? Yeah, I think when you look at Kylian Mbappe, it's rare for us to see him have back-to-back games where he's not at top level. And you saw little glimpses when he got on the ball and then you realise, OK, wait, something can happen. But it just never really got going for him. I don't think that the supporting cast with Dembele, Mouhani really got in and around him. Maybe he lost confidence in the fact that, you know, I think he created one good chance at the start.
