“Mbappe is no longer qualified to wear the PSG captain’s armband” – Outrage was directed towards the French superstar after his shaky performance last night.
Mbappe was replaced by Goncalo Ramos because of his ineffective performance against Rennes
Paris Saint-Germain escaped defeat to Stade Rennes at Parc Des Princes home field last night. Sealing the 1-1 draw for Les Parisiens was Goncalo Ramos – who came on to replace Kylian Mbappe. The Portuguese striker scored in the last minute of second half stoppage time on a penalty kick. Before that, Amine Gouiri put Rennes ahead in the 33rd minute.
Mbappe played lacklusterly against Rennes, only launching 2 shots at Rennes, none of which hit the target. Every attack by PSG comes from the right wing with the wing duo Dembele – Hakimi. On the opposite side, Mbappe or Barcola were both subject to a fierce blockade by the Rennes defenders.

Struggling for 65 minutes before being replaced, Mbappe was fiercely criticized by the PSG audience. Negative opinions also say that the French superstar no longer deserves to wear the PSG captain’s armband. Especially when Mbappe has confirmed to leave the team after this season.
A member of the PSG Ultras shared with Amazon Prime Video during the PSG – Rennes match: “It would be better if Hakimi or Danilo wore the captain’s armband if Marquinhos was absent. Mbappe does not need to take on this responsibility anymore!”
Despite being divided, PSG still leads Ligue 1, 11 points behind. Round 23 saw Brest climb to 2nd place with a 0-3 victory at Strasbourg. Monaco and Nice fell behind one after another. The most disappointing was Nice when they were beaten 0-0 by Clermont at home.
