Alarm at Paris Saint-Germain. Kylian Mbappé withdrew injured from this Wednesday's league match against Montpellier, with only two weeks to go before the Champions League match against Bayern. The French striker left the field twenty minutes into the game, touching the back of his thigh and we will have to wait for the first scans to find out the extent of his physical problems.
The footballer from the Parisian club suffered a collision with the Montpellier player Léo LeRoy, which hit him in the upper part of his right tibia, but the footballer withdrew complaining about his thigh, so the injury appears to be muscular. Mbappé was unable to continue and had to be replaced in minute 21 by Hugo Ekitike. Television cameras later showed the player touching the back of his left thigh in the hallways of the tunnel changing rooms.
Before, the striker had missed two penalties against former Espanyol player Benjamin Lecomte, now a Montpellier goalkeeper. Mbappé has launched -and missed- and the first shot, which the referee forced to repeat. On the second, the Frenchman missed the shot again and on the rebound, to an empty goal, he sent the ball over the crossbar.
A bad night for Mbappé to which the injury of Sergio Ramos has also been added. Minutes after the Frenchman's injury, the Spanish central defender suffered a severe blow to the head in a game with Stephy Mavididi and had to be replaced due to concussion. Bad news for PSG that in less than two weeks they face Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Despite all the adversities - a goal has also been disallowed for offside against Leo Messi - PSG has ended up prevailing on their visit to Montpellier thanks to goals from Fabián Ruiz, as soon as the second half began, and from the Argentine , which did not fail to make it 0 to 2 in 72. Montpellier closed the gap in 89, but the young Warren Zaire-Emery, 16, certified the victory of the Parisian team by 1 goal to 3 in the added time.
