id=\"h-mbappe-dealt-with-admirably\">Mbappe dealt with admirably<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe still bagged a penalty and had many promising moments, Les Monegasques deserve credit for how they dealt with his threat to minimise his footprint on proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start with, the job done by Wilfried Singo was very commendable, for the speedy stopper was able to match Mbappe for pace and remained attentive to his trademark depth runs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure

manage 1v1 scenarios, frequently used his strength to physically impose himself on the World Cup winner and got touchtight whenever he dropped deep with his back to goal so he couldn&#8217;t turn or enjoy a clean first touch helped nullify the masterful attacker.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Singo getting touchtight when Mbappe drops deep with his back to goal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other reasons behind Monaco&#8217;s ability to keep him at bay for long periods was how Vanderson, and others too, would help out by double or triple teaming him, plus from how ASM were aware of his infield ventures to pass on the marking assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To escape the attention, Mbappe would often rotate inside or occasionally to the other flank, where he could get some reprieve from Singo&#8217;s tracking and the away team&#8217;s coherent collective approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the numbers, the fact Mbappe lost possession nine times, only won 50% of all his duels (11 of 22) and could only muster four touches inside the box (well below his season average of 7.69 per 90) indicated aptly that he didn\u2019t have things all his own way.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"751\" height=\"381\"

class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mbappe&#8217;s duels map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limiting his influence effectively, which is a task that&#8217;s often easier said than done, there was much to like about the individual job done by Singo and how Hutter&#8217;s framework ensured support was present to deal with Mbappe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-golovin-s-genius-still-shines-through\">Golovin&#8217;s genius still shines through<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASM&#8217;s playmaking genius Aleksandr Golovin was able to influence this clash in customary style through his remarkable technical skills and clever movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding space expertly between the lines to connect the midfield and attack and form ideal 3v2 overloads, it was a joy to watch him exploit openings to breathe life into attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surveying his surroundings wisely to be awake to opponents and his teammates, this was the catalyst for him to occupy such quality positions. Taking full advantage of the indecision from PSG&#8217;s defenders, who were often pinned or unwilling to step out, this ensured he frequently wreaked havoc centrally and in the half spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-10-golovin-scanning-and-receiving-in-a-quality-area-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-10-golovin-scanning-and-receiving-in-a-quality-area-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-10-golovin-scanning-and-receiving-in-a-quality-area-533x300.png 533w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-10-golovin-scanning-and-receiving-in-a-quality-area.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Golovin&#8217;s crafty scanning before possession receiving in a quality area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-11-golovin-receiving-smartly-between-the-lines-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-11-golovin-receiving-smartly-between-the-lines-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-11-golovin-receiving-smartly-between-the-lines-533x300.png 533w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-11-golovin-receiving-smartly-between-the-lines.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Golovin receiving smartly between the lines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"528\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-12-golovins-heat-map.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-12-golovins-heat-map.jpg 528w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-12-golovins-heat-map-441x300.jpg 441w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Golovin&#8217;s Heat Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The silky skilled wizard&#8217;s passing was on full show too, for his wicked set pieces and ingenuity to create chances and unbalance the PSG rearguard added to his menace.
