Reporter Han Bing reported from the Camp Nou to the Bernabeu, once again suffering a tragic reversal. The sky-high investment of 1 billion euros, MNM's super giant card face, still failed to save the dream of the Paris Champions League, and what scares Paris fans even more is that they are likely to completely lose the possibility of leaving Mbappe because of this battle.
Grand Paris president Helafi was furious, believing that Benzema's equaliser was a clash with Donnarumma first, and he was not inferior to the referee. But what really makes The Ligue 1 squad winners hate out is the low-level mistakes and lack of concentration they are accustomed to in the league. Less than 3 days after being killed by Nice, Donnaruma and Marquinhos gave consecutive gifts in this battle, completing Benzema's hat-trick within 17 minutes.
Although the stadium was stolen by the French big brother, Mbappe was still the focus of the fan media talk this night. The three-time hole-in-the-net goal only for one goal is certainly regrettable for the "French God Turtles", but the amazing performance of the two legs has given him enough confidence to land at the Bernabeu - after this campaign, Mbappe's future is further clarified. Florentino no longer needs to play the emotional card of "Emperor Dream", his team has proved with actions what is called the real giant heritage.
Since the Qatari royal family first hit the Champions League 10 seasons ago, "being reversed" seems to have become a curse on the fate of the French giants.
At Camp Nou in March 2013, Pastore gave Paris a lead, but Pedro's goal allowed Barca to qualify with more away goals. The subsequent reversal of Paris in the second leg became a lingering curse: in 2013/14, the home win was 3-1 at home to Chelsea, but the away was 2-0, or the away goal was less. In the 2015/16 season, the home was forced by Manchester City to draw, and the away game was 0-1 out; in the 2016/17 season, the home win over Barca was actually 1-6 away, which directly led to the strong digging of Neymar into the team.
In the 2017/18 season, against Real Madrid led by Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, Paris was double-killed. In the 2018/19 season, Greater Paris was able to win 2-0 at Old Trafford, but returned to the Parc des Princes but lost 1-3, and scored less away goals. Only in the 2019/20 season, when the format was changed to a single leg, did Paris get away with reaching the final. Last season, although they scored more away goals in the knockout rounds to beat Bayern, they were still double-scored by Manchester City in the semi-finals. This season's Champions League abolished the away scoring rules, and Paris had a 1-0 advantage at home, and Mbappe led 2-0 on aggregate on the road.
Benzema's first goal was judged to be valid, leaving Paris president Helafi in a desperate state of mind, not only trying to find the referee's theory, but also issuing death threats to Real Madrid employees who were recording on their mobile phones, while breaking the flag of the assistant referee. In fact, combined with the many penalties in this game, Real Madrid, who played at home, did not have the advantage, and Helafi's emotional expression was enough to show his extreme dissatisfaction with the team's good situation.
Greater Paris relies too much on Messi and Mbappe, with the MNM combination enjoying the privilege of not participating in the defence and the team being seriously disjointed from the front and back. There are no leadership players like Ramos on the defensive end, and there are too many active mistakes under real Madrid's high-pressure attack in the second half, and each mistake is a heavy blow to the morale of the team, and finally it completely collapses like at Camp Nou 6 years ago.
The infighting exposed by the Greater Paris campaign was also caught by the media, and after the game, the dressing room Donnarumma and Neymar clashed fiercely, with the two accusing each other of direct responsibility for conceding goals, from quarrels to intentions. The conflict itself is a testament to the factional media rumors of Greater Paris, and the tradition of "being reversed" in Greater Paris is not without cause compared to Real Madrid. The South American gang led by Messi and Neymar enjoys privileges, the French gang led by Mbappe is also unrestrained, and the other stars have long been dissatisfied.
Mbappe was injured in training before the game and was once considered unable to play, but in actual combat he was still the only trusted player in the Trident. While Neymar's cameo in the middle was constrained and Messi had no bright performance, Kylian Mbappe delivered a superb performance of penetrating the Real Madrid goal three times, although the first and last two times were invalidated for offside, but the two goals in two legs were already a monstrous advantage for Paris.
In 8 Champions League games this season, Mbappe will be able to score in every game, especially the Champions League knockout goal (11 goals) has been tied with Messi, a full heart star. In the second half of the campaign, Paris began to be completely suppressed, the offensive was sharply reduced, and Mbappe could still threaten the Real Madrid defense.
Before the game, Real Madrid and the president of Paris had lunch together for two consecutive days, keeping it secret, but there is no doubt that the focus is still on Mbappe. Although Leonardo and Mbappe both declined all questions about Real Madrid, the results of the game and Mbappe's performance seem to have given a clear answer. Such a big Paris is not worthy of Mbappe's Champions League and Ballon d'Or ambitions, as Real Madrid star Baldano said: the new Bernabeu Stadium and Real Madrid's halo in the Champions League are calling top stars, almost directly pointing out Mbappe's name.
Although after the opening, Real Madrid once left space for Mbappe due to full attack, and also let the Paris superstar grab the first goal. But compared to the glory of Greater Paris, Real Madrid is not only experienced, but also more like a championship team. The experience of Benzema, Kroos and Modric is enough to give the Galactic Fleet an absolute psychological advantage, with Real Madrid also representing the future of Militao, Valverde and Vinicius, as well as Camaringa and Rodrigo, who appeared in the second half. And the fiasco of the Battle of Paris may not only probably lose Mbappe, but even Messi is a little disheartened.
Failure may be subversive to the future of Greater Paris, and Le Parisien has revealed that the angry Qatari royal family is basically determined to fire Pochettino this summer, and the sky-high price of mbappe's action will also most likely suffer a fiasco. And the failure of the World Cup in Paris, there is also a price to be paid for by sports director Leonardo. In 2017-2019, Greater Paris suffered consecutive defeats in the Champions League, and the club immediately reacted violently. The sky-high price of signing Neymar, firing Emery, Leonardo returning...
This time, Greater Paris will surely set off a monstrous wave this summer. Zidane, Haaland, C Ronaldo? Or use the above 3 people to persuade Mbappe to stay, no matter what, it will have a profound impact on the pattern of European football. Of course, the defensive end, which Carragher and Ferdinand consider to be more like the "child"level, is the short board of the team that Paris should immediately strengthen. Otherwise, even if C Ronaldo and Haaland come to shoot, gathering the five superstars on the offensive end will not add to the laughing stock.
