It’s a bit short, again, to seal the foundations of a solid reconciliation, appease resentment and pick up the pieces with the stands. But this time at least the MNM didn’t reach out for a beating. Quite the contrary. For the first time in weeks and even since PSG made the choice to associate the talent of Messi, Neymar and Mbappé at the forefront of the Parisian attack, the Brazilian, the Argentinian and the Frenchman all made people tremble. the nets, and probably a little hearts, this Sunday evening against Lorient (5-1).
Carried by a gala Kylian Mbappé, unstoppable boss of this team, impressive leader in his involvement as in his choices, the triplet of stars, involved in the five goals of success, signed (even a little late) the reference match that all have been waiting since the start of the season.
Five goals, two for Mbappé, as many for Neymar and one for Messi, both served by the tricolor world champion, the evening could not be more beautiful for the MNM. For many, this is perhaps the minimum to expect from a trio of this size, made up of the most expensive transfer in history (222 million euros for Neymar), the only seven-time Ballon d’Or of the planet (Messi) and one of the most incredible talents, perhaps, that France has ever had (Mbappé).
Especially against Lorient, modest sixteenth in Ligue 1, which does not have much, apart from its courage, to oppose to stars supposed to be sized for the European summits. But almost a month after the elimination in Madrid, three weeks after the boos of the Parc des Princes against Bordeaux and a fortnight after the sinking of Monaco (3-0), no one knew how the trio would react for their reunion with stands. to the stubborn grudge towards the two South American stars.
The Park has put away its whistles
But the international break will therefore have been a breath of fresh air for everyone. For the public who, failing to praise Neymar and Messi as he did with Mbappé, this time contained his whistles. For the “good life triplet” also who, on the strength of what everyone had achieved with their respective selection in recent days, shook the nets all together.
Neymar, author of his first double of the season, celebrated his 6th and 7th goals in Ligue 1 in sobriety, as if to show his desire to redeem himself. Messi was more expansive as he celebrated his third league achievement. But everyone let go when they greeted Mbappé who, not content with having put them into orbit, thanks to his 16th and 17th goals in Ligue 1, confirmed that he was indeed the boss of this attack which, when she decides, can be a delight.
