Lafont was a bit unlucky on this he, came out of his goal like a rocket but could only deflect the chip and it still went in.

Feels good for Geubbels though, after all this injury years. I'm not sure how this guy is going to develop, but missing two pro years between 17 and 19 is usually too much.
But if a guy has enough talent to overcome it, it's certainy him.

For those who don't know his story, it's quite interesting.
Geubbels was the gem of the Lyon academy (which does say a lot).
But he thought he had the qualities to play pro and Lyon wouldn't give him time.
So he informed Lyon that he wouldn't sign pro with them. But instead of leaving like all those youngsters, he told Man City, Leipzig, Monaco, Bayern and Ajax and all his pursuers that Lyon should be compensated for his formation.
So he accepted to go to the highest bidder. Monaco put 20M on him (for a single year of youth contract) and thus he moved there.
Then he was injured, came back, injured himself, came back and injured himself again. In two years, he accumulated 20 minutes of pro football.
This year, he's finally healthy enough to play. For how long though?

Another injury machine comes on for Monaco. Pietro Pelligiri, once hyped as the next big thing of italian football, before injuring himself all the time is coming on.

Geubbels scored after being on the pitch for a total of 1 minute.

Yep, that was one heck of a save.

Ben Arfa said today he feels the french league is better than the spanish league because in Spain, the big clubs are hiding the awful clubs.

If I was Neymar, I wouldn't mess with Payet. Not only is he like a metre taller and still a top 10 player in Ligue 1, Dmitri looks like he does MMA.

I'm also not sure he's a top 10 player in the league.
Navas, Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Verratti, Neymar, Icardi, Di Maria and Mbappe already from PSG are better.
On his team he's second behind Thauvin.
Then you have guys like Aouar, Camavinga, Bruno, etc...

Payet is better than all of those except Verratti, Neymar, Icardi, and Mbappe. Everyone else cannot match with the elegance of the technique skills of Dmitri Payet. The bottom three all have better potential, but not there yet.

:facepalm:
Please, don't.
Navas is a top goalie in the world. Payet is not a top AM in the world.
Marquinhos is one of the best CB in the world. Payet is not.
Kimpembe is excellent as well, NT player and elected to CL best XI. Payet is not.
Aouar is already much better than Payet.
Di Maria, no comment, it's easy.
Thauvin has been OM's best player for years.
Camavinga is also a NT player and impressed.
Bruno is very close to WC.

Ray Hudson actually defending Neymar going down all the time.
Ray Hudson actually saying Thuvian's goal was offside.

:facepalm:

So PSG dominates, but OM scores, making this game very interesting.
PAYET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friend, this scrub doesn't even score if it wasn't for the superb pass by Dimitri Payet. Remember his name.

Payet has tougher competition in AM than Navas, Marquinhos, Kimpembe do. Aouar has better potential. Di Maria is insanely overrated, give me Payet. Payet makes Thauvin the player he is. Camavinga has better potential. Bruno wants to eventually become of someone like Payet quality.

Please stop, you're only digging deeper.

You need to watch football instead of dreaming about it.

Payet wasn't here in the first game, Thauvin had 1+2. Wonder who made him then.

Fam, Thauvin was happy that he could show Payet some of the skills he learned from Dimitri himself during training.
