PSG-Juventus: the Italian press dazzled by Mbappé’s performance – RMC Sport

PSG beat Juventus 2-1 in their first Champions League game of the season. A man made an impression: Kylian Mbappé, author of a double. He was favored by the Italian press on Wednesday. “Kylian Mbappé gives the same feeling as that which Ronaldo il Fenomeno gave: technique at top speed against other human beings” could we read this Wednesday in the Gazzetta Dello Sport . The Frenchman was voted man of the match after PSG’s 2-1 victory over Juve on Tuesday evening, during the first day of the group stage of the Champions League. Two magnificent goals, in first intention, earned him a score of 8 in the daily newspaper: “Two wonders, he is a magician (…) He is a player who is not distracted by controversy and who traces his path. That of the goal. The one he wants to trace towards the top of Europe, after that of the world. If no one was unaware that he was one of the greatest, he gives everyone the feeling of always going further. On the lawn of the Parc des Princes, he delivered a high-flying performance, which came close to perfection. The latter could have been achieved if the world champion had served his teammate Neymar, alone in the box (51st), rather than to go there alone. It is this action that allows him to have “only” 7 in the Corriere della Sera: “On Tuesday, the Louvre closed, so he took care of it by scoring two goals. But in the second period, he devours himself a goal and forbids one to Neymar by not passing the ball to him”, writes the daily. La Stampa crowns “the new king of football”, in its edition of the day. Tuttosport underlines “a double of infinite class”, insisting on the courage of Juventus in the face of the challenge that awaited them. Faced with a weak Turin team which reacted well after the break, PSG can boast of to have made the difference thanks to its stars, three stars who have perhaps never shone so much together. In the Parisian constellation, one seems even more sparkling than the others. The star of the shepherd, Kylian Mbappé.
