Marcus Rashford, aerial against Paris -

Michel Euler / AP / SIPA

At the Parc des Princes,

A stat that made the throats of the haters of Kylian Mbappé, always more numerous on the nights of defeat.

23 high intensity races for the French against 43 for Marcus Rashford, his opposite, who also ran almost two more terminals (just over 9km, against 7.5).

We make it short to you on the lot of fantasies that the comparison carries.

Kyky is overrated, he is not progressing, he is not screwed to play 9, so look in the face, this good Marcus, what a class to give the victory to MU, other than our starlet of Bondy, and hand me the little one sister Jacky, my throat is drier than the Gobi Desert.

23 high intensity races for Mbappé


44 for Rashford.


+ 9km for English, 7.5 for French.



That sums up the intensity of PSG football.



(Even if I don't like stats like that, but added to the match I saw ...)

Let's stop the drugs for two minutes.

First on the evening game.

No Rashford was not the reincarnation of Ronaldo of the nineties.

Must see what the boy missed: A return of Diallo in the first half while the Englishman was going to duel in front of Navas, a pass irrelevant for Martial when the game ordered to go alone, and two Magnetic strikes by Keylor which should / could have hit the mark, at least the second almost at close range.

So, of course, the winning goal is splendid and he went to seek it like a great one, but from there to cry out to the British genius, let's be serious.

Did Rashford run more than Mbappé?

If the broadcaster says so, no worries.

But for what we have seen, the French struggled as much as he could.

First in the axis, where, it has mainly existed by one or two well-felt discounts, and then on the left, to leave the place of false nine to Neymar.

Rashford, "special" player

The world champion was not stingy on the calls, he could have scratched a penalty without crying scandal, and his sequence in the Mancunian area, with double pass of the legs to send two English defenders in the Thames and instantaneous strike which left small opposite net, brrrrrr, we still have the hairs.

Moreover, Ole-Gunnar Solskjear, did not want to decide between the two wonder boys in post-match conf.

“Marcus has become a very great player, but it's difficult to compare the two, except to say that we have two top level forwards for the next 10 or 15 years.

They both have tremendous qualities, awesome physical condition, speed, and most of all they seem to me to be two very good, hard working people, so it's a good thing to see them succeed.

"

Very active in his fight for the most disadvantaged children in England, Rashford has also won the esteem of the French, who spoke about him in the British press:

“Tackling an issue as important as child poverty is one of the most important things anyone can do.

So I fully respect the fact that he did this and is trying to make a real change.

He is a player who plays with so much confidence.

He is one of England's most dangerous forwards.

Paul Pogba has spoken of a special player - and he doesn't often speak of players that way.

"

Mbappé needs to breathe

If Rashford is special, what about our national Mbappé, then?

To take just one figure among others, the first must have 60 goals with MU and ten in selection at 23, when the second has exceeded 100 goals in L1 is approaching twenty goals for the France team, with two years younger.

So there was a little something missing against Manchester, probably a bit of freshness, since the Paris striker keeps pace to put Stakhanov on sick leave, but it should be honest when you judge Mbappé.

Was he bad in Croatia?

He scores the winning goal hard.

Barely time to return, and BIM a double against Nîmes.

It's a little harder in the Champions League, where the Parisian prodigy is going through his worst famine, with six games in a row without scoring, but the kid will soon slip through our fingers.

Let's take advantage, before hearing from him by watching the summaries of Real Madrid.
