Kyian Mbappe And PSG Face Fight To Keep Champions League Dream Alive | Football News

[ad_1] The spectre of another disappointing exit from the Champions League hangs over Paris Saint-Germain after a 3-2 first-leg defeat at home left them with a fight to turn around their quarter-final tie against Barcelona in Tuesday's return. At first, nobody realistically expected this PSG side, in transition with a rejuvenated squad following last year's departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar, to go on and win the Champions League this season. But the realisation that Kylian Mbappe would not be staying beyond the end of his contract after this campaign helped concentrate minds, with the superstar forward informing the club of his plans after the win over Real Sociedad in the last 16.Then came the draw for the last eight and semi-finals, which presented the French champions with a favou...

Barcelona Beware: Old Boy Ousmane Dembele On A Mission For PSG In Champions League Clash | Football News

[ad_1] Most of the attention in Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League quarter-final with Barcelona on Wednesday will be on Kylian Mbappe, but Ousmane Dembele is also set to have a big role to play for the French club against his former side. Mbappe, who is expected to be coming up against Barca in a Real Madrid shirt next season, has 39 goals for PSG in this campaign. Dembele has only one. However, the player described by newspaper Le Parisien last week as a "tearaway" offers something different, even if Barcelona are all too aware of what the 26-year-old winger can do with a ball at his feet.The France star returned to his home country last August after six seasons in Catalonia, with PSG paying a reported 50 million euros ($54.3m) to sign him on a five-year deal.That relatively paltry ...

Shadow PSG Side Held In Final Warm-up For Barcelona Champions League Showdown | Football News

[ad_1] Paris Saint-Germain warmed up for their looming Champions League showdown with Barcelona by fielding a shadow line-up in a 1-1 draw at home to struggling Clermont on Saturday. PSG needed a Goncalo Ramos equaliser with five minutes left, following a one-two with substitute Kylian Mbappe, to snatch a draw and avoid what would have been just a second loss in Ligue 1 this season. Malian midfielder Habib Keita had earlier given bottom side Clermont the lead in the first half, but they could not hold on for a repeat of their win in Paris last season.Ramos's goal, his 11th of the season for his club, allowed PSG to extend their unbeaten run to 27 matches in all competitions since a 2-1 loss away to AC Milan in the Champions League in early November."The players are professionals. We are ...

[ad_1] Kylian Mbappe had a penalty saved but then scored the only goal of the game as Paris Saint-Germain beat Rennes 1-0 in the last four of the French Cup on Wednesday to set up a final showdown against Lyon. Mbappe saw Rennes goalkeeper Steve Mandanda save his 37th-minute spot-kick at the Parc des Princes, but three minutes later the France captain found the net with a shot that took a deflection on its way in.

Kylian Mbappe Set To Measure Up To Marseille For Final Time With PSG | Football News

[ad_1] Kylian Mbappe is set to sample the fiercest rivalry in French football for the final time before his expected departure at the end of the season as Paris Saint-Germain make the trip to Marseille on Sunday. There is no love lost between the two biggest clubs in France, even if Marseille have struggled to compete with PSG for honours since the Qatari takeover of the capital side over a decade ago. The Parisians come into this game with a huge 12-point lead at the top of the table from nearest challengers Brest with just eight matches remaining, meaning Mbappe is surely certain to win a sixth title in seven seasons with the club.Marseille, in contrast, are seventh, three points outside the European places despite a recent revival under new coach Jean-Louis Gasset, a former PSG assist...

Hosts France Get Kind Olympic Draw As Kylian Mbappe Uncertainty Lingers | Football News

[ad_1] Thierry Henry's France side are firm favourites to progress following a kind group draw for men's football at the 2024 Olympic Games on Wednesday, as the hosts wait to see if Kylian Mbappe will be made available. "Nothing is easy," said Henry after the draw, but his side, already amongst the favourites for the gold medal on home turf, avoided potential pitfalls in not drawing Morocco and Egypt. Les Bleus are in Group A of the 16-team tournament with New Zealand, USA and the winners of the AFC-CAF play-off, as they seek to win a second Olympic gold after success in 1984."It's never easy to win a home tournament, I think Brazil and Spain did it (in 2016 and 1992, respectively) but it doesn't happen often," said Henry."We will try to make it happen, but it'll be a long journey."It is...

Mbappe Double Fires PSG Past Real Sociedad To Champions League Quarters | Football News

[ad_1] Kylian Mbappe lethally fired Paris Saint-Germain into the Champions League quarter-finals with a brace in a 2-1 win at Real Sociedad on Tuesday, his team cruising through 4-1 on aggregate. Coach Luis Enrique has slashed Mbappe's minutes in recent weeks after the player told the club he would leave at the end of the season, but the France captain proved he will be vital if PSG are to finally win the competition for the first time. The electric Mbappe was impossible for Real Sociedad to shackle and his strikes after 15 and 56 minutes left the Ligue 1 leaders with a simple night in the north of Spain."We are very happy, it was the objective," Mbappe told Canal Plus."We wanted to qualify but today we also wanted to win and give ourselves a bit of an easier game. That is what we did."W...

Kylian Mbappe Tension Overshadows PSG’s Crunch Champions League Date | Football News

[ad_1] Paris Saint-Germain's preparations for Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg away to Real Sociedad have been overshadowed by coach Luis Enrique's handling of star man Kylian Mbappe.

Kylian Mbappe Taken Off At Half-Time As PSG Draw At Monaco | Football News

[ad_1] Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said he took Kylian Mbappe off "for the good of the team" as the France captain was substituted at half-time in Paris Saint-Germain's 0-0 draw away to Monaco on Friday. Mbappe was not injured and emerged from the PSG dressing room at the start of the second half in a tracksuit, smiling and talking on the phone before taking a seat in the stand to watch the remainder of the game.Without him, PSG were perhaps fortunate to leave the principality with a draw which nevertheless allows them to stretch their lead at the top of the French table to 12 points from Brest, who are in action on Sunday.They edge a step closer to retaining the French title, but the focus for Luis Enrique's side is principally on Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg...
