In the first match after the international match day, Paris Saint-Germain beat Lorient 5-1. Although Messi scored a drought in Ligue 1 and Neymar scored twice, Mbappe, who scored 5 goals with 2 shots and 3 passes, was the number one contributor.
In the 12th minute of the campaign, Messi and Mbappe had consecutive clever passes, Neymar burst into the box and scored a low shot, and the connection between MNM helped Paris take the lead.
In the 28th and 67th minutes, Mbappe scored two goals in a row with a push from inside the penalty area and a powerful shot from the arc of the penalty area to help Paris extend their lead. In Ligue 1, Mbappe has scored 123 goals, and in the 21st century, Mbappe has scored second only to Cavani (138 goals) and Pauletta (130 goals).
In the 73rd and 90th minutes, Mbappe sent assists for Messi and Neymar, helping the former break the Ligue 1 drought, and the latter scored twice. It was the first time in Mbappe's career that he completed an assist hat-trick.
After Neymar scored again, Paris fans finally cheered. It is worth emphasizing that this is the first time that the MNM combination of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe has scored in the same game.
In the SOFA website's post-match rating, Mbappe scored 10 points, Messi and Neymar scored 7.5 and 8.9 points respectively, and the WHOSCORED website also rated Mbappe 10 points.
Mbappe was able to score 10 points, not only because of his two goals and three assists, but also because he made seven breakouts and seven creations.
Despite being only 23 years old, Mbappe made 323 appearances for clubs and national teams, scoring 213 goals and giving 102 assists, averaging an average of 1 goal per 75.8 minutes.
The better Mbappe performs, the more nervous the Paris hierarchy may be, facing a near-impossible task: convincing Mbappe to renew his contract.
