Kingsley Coman tortured PSG again

He was born in Paris, he was trained at PSG and today he is the executioner of the Rouge et Bleu. After burying the Parisians' Champions League dreams one evening in August 2020, Kingsley Coman (28) found his ex once again, Tuesday evening, during the 5th day of the League phase. Married to Bayern Munich for more than seven years, the French international (58 caps, 8 goals) finally recalled the bad memories of Ile-de-France supporters, a decade after his departure from the City of Lights. Although he did not find the net this time, the 1m81 right-hander, wearing the number 11 on his back, will still have delivered a great performance against a PSG who are often overwhelmed.

Credited with a 7 by the FM editorial team, Coman – regularly hampered by injuries in recent months – thus confirms his return to the forefront. “Once again a starter, he fully justified Vincent Kompany’s confidence in the first period, showing himself to be available and inspired”underlined, in this perspective, the daily The Teamgiving him an honorable 6.

Slightly less visible after the break and not very successful against the goal, like a new strike that was too quick (66th), the French winger, who is coming off four consecutive starts in the Bundesliga, finally gave up his place to Serge Gnabry for the last quarter of an hour. Whatever. With this authoritative victory – bringing Bayern Munich closer to the top 8 – and a convincing performance, the Bavarian continues, today, to ride on his good momentum. To the great happiness of Vincent Kompany, to the great misfortune of his former house…
