PSG have not had it easy in recent days. Relegation from the French Cup, Neymar’s injury and also his departure from the Champions League. Adding insult to injury, they ran into a fair Brest side that narrowly robbed them of two points at the Stade Francis-Le Blé, but Mbappé finished as a hero on the hour.
The local team played a good tactical game against their opponent, who did not have many chances. Except Carlos Soler who played as a third striker In the form of Christophe Gaultier, the Parisian danger came to the French number 10 who, thanks to a shot with his left foot, managed to goalkeeper Marco Bizo he provided a rebound that the Spaniard took advantage of to open the scoring.
But a few minutes later the attacker Franck Honorat matched the energies and unleashed a commotion in the stands. In the second half it was the local who persisted more in the face of the frustration of Mbappé and company, but his magic Lionel Messi accompanied the striker who had the last one on his feet, in a one-on-one in the 90th minute that they did not lose, and now add another three points to the account, in their race for the title.
