Journalist Daniel Riolo called Kylian Mbappe the only weapon of PSG.
PSG lost 1-2 to Marseille and were eliminated from the French Cup at the round of 16 stage. Mbappe did not take part in the match due to injury.
When you have Neymar or Messi, even when they play averagely like on Wednesday, they can always come up with something or send the ball into the open space for Mendes or Hakimi. The main doubt was PSG`s ability to exploit the space.
Probably everyone at some point thought that if Mbappe had been there, the Parisians would have used some spaces better. We know that Mbappe is the only weapon of PSG, there is no other in the club. People don`t always want to hear it, but it`s just him.
Without Mbappe and with Marseille able to press all over the pitch without losing intensity, we saw what we expected. Namely, the superior Marseille, who was not afraid even when playing one on one.
Neymar and Messi tried to break through but were thwarted by Marseille`s brave players, who always wanted to get to the ball and did an incredible job in the middle.
All we see from PSG, all the shortcomings that have been pointed out all week, are two strikers [Neymar and Messi] who are burnt out. They are capable of flashes, but there is nothing left in them. There is no higher level anymore.
Yesterday I said that there is not a single Marseille player worthy of being on the PSG bench. This irritated the Marseilles, who said that I was exaggerating, because there is Payette. This Wednesday, not a single PSG player would have found a place in the Marseille squad. Not one.
The absolute tragedy is that there is not a single PSG player I would put in place of a Marseille player. It`s unthinkable to say that. Still, it’s a simple observation, ” Riolo said.
