Ousmane Dembele can be said to be one of the few French players with a positive performance in the defeat.
On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe, Lucas Hernandez and Zaire-Emery all did not play convincingly on a day when Germany was superior in every aspect.
The match got off to a rough start for the French team when Florian Wirtz scored to make it 1-0 for Germany just 7 seconds after the match started.
The first half saw many opportunities for both teams, but the goalkeepers were able to prevent all dangers caused by the opponent.
In the 49th minute of the second half, Germany extended their lead with a goal from Kai Havertz, ultimately securing a 2-0 victory against the French team.
Germany’s dominance in the game was evident, with Nagelsmann’s strategic setup stifling the French team’s individual talents, emphasizing the expected competitiveness in FIFA matches.
The most notable star on the field, Kylian Mbappe had one of the most forgettable matches, when his impact was limited due to being closely marked on the left wing by Germany.
The Bondy-born player had only two shots in the match, of which only one was on target.
He had 63 touches of the ball, completing 71% of his passes (27/38) and 17% of his crosses (1/6), and was ineffective in dribbling, completing only 44% (4/ 9).
The PSG superstar had 11 duels but only won 5 and had an extremely disappointing number of times he lost the ball, 25 times.
Next week, they face Chile in their second friendly match of the month, aiming to bounce back after their loss to Germany.
The PSG players are anticipated to deliver a strong performance in preparation for the upcoming end-of-season stage.
The capital team still has a chance to win the treble when it tops the Ligue 1 table, still competing in the National Cup and C1. But Mbappe’s future is still something they have to worry about.
During a recent press conference, he said: “I haven’t announced anything yet because I have nothing to announce. I always said that when that happens, I will act like a man.”
These words come amid growing speculation surrounding Mbappe’s possible move to Real Madrid.
The expectations of Real Madrid fans are clearly visible, fueled by much information on media channels, including reputable news agencies such as Marca in Spain and journalist Fabrizio Romano.
However, Mbappe’s assertion that there is nothing to announce may cause some PSG fans to hold on to hope.
However, the fact that Mbappe has not finalized his future may stem from his desire to maintain focus on his current commitments with PSG.
Until Mbappe makes a definitive statement, the speculation will not abate.
