The Champions League quarter-final ushered in the high-profile match between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, the epitome of the whole game is that Paris is invincible, just when everyone thought it would end with a draw, Mbappe scored for the team through his personal ability in stoppage time, and Paris won the first leg with a score of 1-0.
Although from the perspective of topic alone, Neymar's substitution and Ramos's absence have made this game have no small regrets, but from a technical and tactical point of view, this game is definitely a strong dialogue between both coaches who are close to perfect tactical arrangements.
Aside from Casemiro's inexplicable yellow card foul, Real Madrid didn't make any big mistakes at half-time, lowering his stance, giving up possession and trying to suddenly hit Paris off guard at some point in the middle of the game, which was Ancelotti's main tactical idea.
The pre-match prediction of Vinicius playing Behind Ashraf did not appear once, because Pochettino, who had already anticipated this, arranged for Danilo Pereira to be there, and Danilo would hardly participate in the front attack.
As long as Ashraf inserted him in front of him to defend Vinicius's offensive strength, the Cubs hardly created any meaningful offensive value in the whole game, and he has not yet come up with a more commendable personal performance in the top game.
On the contrary, Mbappe, who is about to join in the summer window, although there are Casemiro, Modric, Carvajal and even Asensio, Mbappe is indeed constantly creating threats. Single explosion of real madrid backline, breakthrough point, Mbappe with practical actions to let Real Madrid check the goods in advance, but also told the world's top strikers how big the role of the field is.
In contrast, Vinicius, who is also in the winger position, pales in comparison to the cruel truth: no one can deny that Vinicius is a rising star with unlimited potential, but at the moment, he is indeed too far behind Mbappe.
Against the Champions League's veteran giants, Mbappe made a point and shot a goal, doesn't this kind of performance remind you of someone familiar? Looking back at the three consecutive crowns of Real Madrid, how many important games have relied on the man to force open the opponent's door with his own strength and use his personal ability to rewrite the score of the game. Today's Mbappe, it really smells a little bit, and this is where his value lies.
Some people may feel that the ceremonial midfield is no longer at its peak, but even if they are now, how can they be better than the like of Verratti? The difference is only that in front of Verratti is Mbappe, in front of Kroos is Vinicius, the first-class striker can really affect the game too much, I believe Real Madrid also want to quickly taste the sweetness that Paris is enjoying now next season.
