According to Opta Joe, PSG only ranked second in the Champions League group stage but Kylian Mbappe still knows how to make his mark.
Paris Saint-Germain’s star winger Kylian Mbappe continues to be one of the top players in soccer and this UEFA Champions League group stage is no exception.
This is the first season that the French player does not have Neymar or Lionel Messi by his side in a PSG shirt. Therefore, the pressure is heavy on the shoulders of the 2022 World Cup top scorer. However, he still knows how to leave his mark.
According to Opta Joe, Mbappe participated in the most shots (50) in this year’s UEFA Champions League group stage. At the same time, he also has the highest average participation in a shot per match (8.7) of any other player.
Furthermore, this winger’s stats are also better than some of the top names in this statistic, such as midfielder Jude Bellingham (48), Real Madrid winger Rodrygo (43), and Phil Foden of Manchester City (45).
It will be interesting to see whether the 2018 FIFA World Cup champions can continue this form in the round of 16. If PSG wants to advance to the quarterfinals, they will need the best form from Mbappe.
