Bradley Barcola is going through a complicated period. The status of new star which has sometimes been attributed to him weighs heavily.

Since his arrival at

Paris Saint-Germainduring the summer of 2023, Bradley Barcola changed status. The 22-year-old winger has become a French international and an almost indisputable starter in Luis Enrique’s eleven.

After a remarkable start to the 2024-2025 financial year, the native of Lyon saw his performances decline. Daniel Riolo is worried about his level of play. “I don’t think he’s doing well. He is having a sort of aftershock, a digestion of all the expectation placed on him. What annoys me is the exaggeration and the media narration with stories that we want to create like that of Barcola who should ultimately be Mbappé’s replacement. analyzes the sports journalist on RMC Sport.

Barcola, a worrying decline

It all happened way too fast for Bradley Barcola. “He arrived at PSG for a very significant price. 50 million euros? It’s huge for a player who had six months in Ligue 1. We immediately made him a great player because he arrived at PSG. It’s risky”judge the sidekick of Gilbert Brisbois.

This season, the former Lyonnais has not scored a single goal in the Champions League. In the championship, he was at the top of the scorers’ rankings for several weeks. From now on, it is Lille’s Jonathan David who occupies this place with eleven achievements, one more than number 29 from Ile-de-France.
