Guingamp 1-3 Paris St-Germain: Kylian Mbappe completes PSG comeback with two late goals

Kylian Mbappe celebrates scoring for Paris Saint Germain — Kylian Mbappe scored four goals for France as Les Bleus won the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Kylian Mbappe scored twice on his return from winning the World Cup with France as Paris St-Germain fought back to beat Guingamp 3-1 in Ligue 1.

The 19-year-old came off the bench to claim a brace in the final eight minutes, after Neymar had drawn PSG level with a penalty on 52 minutes.

Mbappe, rested for last week's opener against Caen, had come on at half-time.

He scored four goals at this summer's World Cup on his way to being crowned Fifa's young player of the tournament.

Mbappe slotted his first goal neatly to the right of Karl-Johan Johnsson on 82 minutes, before a delightful chip over the Guingamp goalkeeper secured the three points for Thomas Tuchel's men.

The result ensures PSG maintain their winning start to the season, despite the Ligue 1 champions finding themselves a goal behind after 20 minutes through Nolan Roux's opener.

After the match, PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who made his debut last weekend, swapped shirts with Guingamp's Marcus Thuram - the 21-year-old son of Lilian Thuram.

Lilian - the French national team's most-capped player with 142 appearances - played alongside Buffon at both Parma and Juventus, winning Serie A together twice and playing in the 2003 Champions League final.

FFP laughed at by PSG. Last season's loan was an obvious sham.

If his transfer to PSG had not artificially inflated all other transfer figures, then the Neymar transfer would be funny. He only went there because he was tired of being in the shadow of Messi and now look what happens, young mr Mbappe is set to cast a massive shadow for a number of years to come. I imagine Neymar is pleading with his agent to find him a small team where he can be the "Big Fish".

Can anyone help?!.. I can't find any stats on how many times Neymar rolled around on the ground?

Just doing what he's paid disgusting amounts to do.

I read on another HYS that Guingamp had a "goal" ruled out, perhaps incorrectly by VAR. I wonder why this wasn't mentioned in the report?

Let's just hope that one day we get to watch him play every week in the prem 🤞

@13 was thinking the same. In leaving Barça Neymar escaped the shadow of Messi (mainly due to his aim of being FIFA World player of the year), and landed into what could well be the shadow of Mbappe for the foreseeable. You cannot win the big individual prize not being the main man at your own club. The biggest ego of the lot Cristiano was never that happy when a Real teammate scored.

Dear lord, what a pathetic little league. I hope they're happy with themselves over there.

Gonna be a fantastic player that lad. Such a shame he's wasting it in that joke of a league. Needs to go to La Liga or the Epl to show what he's really made of. France, Italy and Germany are just races to see how fast PSG, Juve and Bayern can win the league. At least in the PL there's 4-5 teams that could win it with a head of steam and some luck, and Spain has 3.

4. the sad fact is these sites cater for the armchair masses most of whom have been brainwashed into thinking that the Premier League & Champions League are all that matter.. and with our country having millions of foreigners living here (so many of whom are all things anti English) the PC BBC feel the need to let them read what they want to read. I'd rather read about non league than PSG

He's wasted in the French League, he'll have his moments in the CL for them but apart from that he's irrelevant really.

PSG best a French pub team .. why little reporting of yesterday’s British football ? Who is running the bbc? Why it needs to change

-----------------------------------

Pub team. Pub league. Etc.
But... won the World Cup!

The White English... not only are they such losers, they are also the most pariah people in the history of humanity. LOL!

The EPL is a pub league compared to the french and German and Italian and Spanish leagues. The engerlund are rotten.
