We should not trivialize a national coronation, the twelfth of the name for the capital club and the third in a row, but we should not blame them for not celebrating it more this weekend when they will probably do so against the Haven this Saturday. However, how can we blame Luis Enrique's men for adhering to a monastic lifestyle four days before a Champions League semi-final?
This Wednesday, PSG will travel to Dortmund with the firm intention of doing most of the work. To offer on May 7, in front of their fans, the second final of the most prestigious European competition four years after losing the first against Bayern Munich.
We don't yet know if they will lift the Big Ears Cup, which will undoubtedly outline the main story of a season already tinged with paradox. The residents of the Parc des Principes have never seemed so close to reaching the Grail in the year when they were on the verge of being eliminated for the first time under the Qatari era in the pools.
The anomalies of a drill and its reversals represent the reasons for our love for football. This Wednesday, the Lorientais, on the other hand, had little taste of the performance of Ousmane Dembélé, invigorated since his performance against the Catalans. And there is no doubt that the Bretons, who are sinking into the twists and turns of Ligue 1, would have preferred to face the ghostly version of the 2018 world champion who wandered on the lawns until Aprilat least statistically speaking in front of goal.
The winger had only scored one goal in the league this season? At Moustoir, he had a great time with a double. The Merlus also had to deal with Mbappé who remained on the bench throughout the match against Lyon last Sunday.
Enough to whet your appetite. “You are not happy ? double” to paraphrase the one who will fly far from his native lands next June while still keeping his head in Paris as evidenced by his two goals, one with a subtle backheel, and his decisive pass while touching the ball to drive you crazy his adversaries.
Lovers of a good story will even be delighted to have seen him share the same colors for the fourth time with his little brother Ethan, who entered fifteen minutes from the end. Rather than pretty stories, supporters are mainly aiming for a fairy tale with the prospect of a unique quadruple in the history of French football.
After the Champions Trophy, a formality, the Rouge et Bleu must go for the title this weekend then the Coupe de France, the final of which they will play in Lille against Lyon on May 25. Again, the cases of champagne should stay in the fridge. To potentially be released on June 1st if the C1 definitely sends them to seventh heaven.
