As is often the case during Paris Saint-Germain matches, the light often comes from Kylian Mbappé. Against the Orléans players, the red and blue number 7 showed himself to be uncompromising, finding the path to goal twice.

The Frenchman has been in good shape since returning from the break. In four matches played, he scored 7 times. Remarkable statistics which should give him confidence before tackling the tough matches in the league and the Champions League in the coming days.
