Entangled in $734,000,000 Crisis, Kylian Mbappe’s Arch-Rivals Lambasted by Hundreds After Being Humbled by PSG

PSG are now bouncing back to form with 2 wins in their last two fixtures. In their recent match against Olympique Lyon, they scored 4 goals past their arch-rivals. Lyon seems to be a husk of what they once were. With this defeat, the club sits at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table. The undertones of the defeat also highlight the $734 million crisis the club is facing.

The new additions for PSG are clicking well. The front three lineup of Kylian Mbappe, Marco Asensio, and Ousmane Dembele has already registered 7 goals in the last four fixtures. The defeat for Lyon turned more bitter as hundreds of fans gathered to criticize the players after their 4-1 defeat at home.

Ultras shout their concerns at Olympique Lyon players

Olympique Lyon is having an awful start to the season. With just 1 point from their last four fixtures, hundreds of supporters and ultras of the club couldn’t keep their feelings to themselves. After the defeat, the players gathered, and the head of the Ultras started a speech.

The ultra said, “Others before you have worn it, glorified it. You don’t have the right to tarnish it. Now that the transfer window is over, the squad is here. All we ask is to be by your side. But to do that, you’re going to have to earn it. We love and respect this shirt.”

The former owner of the club, Jean-Michel Aulas, is reported to be suing the new owner, John Textor. Aulas accuses some important details were hidden from him by Textor before the transfer of ownership, which resulted in a loss of valuable funds. If he had known about the details earlier, he claims he would have lowered the sale value by putting more money into the club’s account. Olympique Lyon is currently estimated to be valued at $734 million.

On the other hand, their arch-rivals, PSG, are performing well again, after the addition of Kylian Mbappe back to the first-team squad. The Paris club has also signed Randal Kolo Muani, so what is Enrique’s plan?

Kylian Mbappe back at work at PSG as they find their stride

PSG drew their opening game against Montpellier. Kylian Mbappe had been ousted from the squad as he refused to sign a contract extension, Mbappe was eventually reinstated to the squad after constructive talks between the club and the player. The French striker then came on to score a penalty and save the day by drawing their last outing against Toulouse.

In the last two games, where Mbappe has played the full 90 minutes, fans have witnessed the true potential of Enrique’s tactics. Kylian Mbappe seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle and both the club’s management and Enrique know that. Kolo Muani has been signed from Eintracht Frankfurt for $96.9 million. It is yet to be seen when he will be given a start, but he will likely take Mbappe or Asensio’s place and will be used as a backup for both.
