Messi, Mbappe and Neymar will celebrate again? (Omari Stein)
After the overwhelming 2:7 over Maccabi Haifa, PSG returns to the French league and wants to restore the gap at the top to five points again after Lance defeated Toulouse 0:3 last night (Friday). The star team will host Troyes at 18:00 and hope for continuity on the part of Leo Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, as written in the newspaper ‘Le Parisien’: “The MNM trio (Messi, Neymar, Mbappe) want to enjoy themselves after the festival against Maccabi Haifa”.
The newspaper even wrote that the victory over Haifa “increased the appetite” and on the island of Parc de France they are expecting another show, this time in the local arena. On Wednesday, PSG is already looking forward to the away game against Juventus, which is significant for the old lady and Haifa (they will host Benfica), but in the meantime coach Christophe Galtier is not planning far-reaching rotations in the attack and Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are expected to start.
“We don’t want to break the dynamic,” Galtier said when asked about the impact of the rush with the World Cup on the horizon. In France they admit that this is the best ability of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe as a trio since it was created with the signing of the flea and in fact they have signed 40 of PSG’s 50 goals in all competitions, and 25 of 32 goals in the league.
Mbappe is PSG’s top scorer in all competitions with 16 along with four assists, while Messi is the leading scorer (12) and also has 11 goals. Neymar is also in double figures in both categories with 13 goals and 10 assists. In any case, at the back, Galtiera is expected to continue with a defensive four with Sergio Ramos and Presnel Kimpamba as the brakes.
