Joy mixed with frustration. After the impressive 1: 6 over Clermont, the French media could not help but praise and glorify “MNM”: the deadly trio of PSG consisting of Leo Messi, Neymar and Killian Ambape.
As you may recall, Neymar and Ambape finished the game after both scoring three goals, with Messi honoring no less than three cooks of his own. Following the celebration on the grass, in France it was difficult not to admire the cooperation of the marvelous attacking trio of Paris.
“The offensive collaboration between Messi, Neymar and Ambape has led to a breathtaking result, but at the same time has rekindled the sense of missing out on PSG’s crowd,” La Parisienne wrote. “Why did we not see this coordination, this passion and this efficiency in the earlier stages of the season?”, They added.
The local media continued, and could not ignore the painful relegation against Real Madrid in the Champions League: “In the absence of the ability to change the past, ‘MNM’ still has a future, even if it is short if Ambape leaves Paris this summer.”
In France they continued with the passive / aggressive approach: “After being relegated against Real Madrid in the Champions League, ‘MNM’ finally understood their role and decided to take matters into their own hands. It is important that they secure the championship as soon as possible.”
The one who won a big compliment is the “flea”: “Messi did not score, although he thought he did in the 60th minute, but Ambape was different. In any case, the Argentine showed ‘Barcelona’ ability. Against Marseille in the first. “
By the way, a “rare” event occurred at the end of the game. As is well known, the tradition in world football is that a player who scores a hat-trick takes the ball home with him at the end of the game. But in PSG’s 1-6 win over Clermont, there were two who did it – Killian Ambape and Neymar. The solution? Two balls, for two players.
