Back to back draws for PSG. Donnarumma key to securing this one. But consecutive games with raised eyebrows about subbing Mbappe. Was never going to be a divorce without intrigue now was it... #ASMPSG

On one hand, Enrique is right, sooner or later PSG will have to get used to being without Mbappe. On the other, it feels like Mbappe wants to end his last season at PSG on a high, he doesn't hate the club, but Enrique is almost forcing a negative atmosphere https://t.co/MRXgFQr1uK
Luis Enrique flexing again? 😁 (Mbappe did pick up a knock that received treatment in the first half, before continuing, so could be precautionary ahead of Real Sociedad next week) https://t.co/MQBHP6qp28
Mbappe subbed at half time!
Le Havre aside, Donnarumma has pulled off blinders in the majority of #PSG's away games this season. That on-road form would look very different without him...
Shame for Asensio, hardly kicked a ball this season without being close to injury. #PSG probably needed a change anyway, Barcola might add a spark. Not done much with possession, no real build up or sequences beyond the half way line. #ASMPSG
Donnarumma stepping up again. May not be Ederson with his feet but such a great shot stopper. May not be the ideal profile for Luis Enrique's style but he's key to the team atm, mopping up the outfield errors. #ASMPSG
Makeshift defence with Danilo joining the injury list (thigh injury, to be assessed tomorrow). Dembele and Barcola rested too. #ASMPSG https://t.co/cnvqoYARYR
No Danilo Pereira in #PSG squad heading to Monaco tonight. Marquinhos still out with a calf issue, along with Skriniar (ankle) and Kimpembe (achilles). Looking thin at centre-back... https://t.co/pwJYBAqce9
