He's doing fine dribbling through players with his high center of gravity, and his close control is much better than you think, as well as his skills. People acting like if his pace was gone tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to do much are just silly. He's got way more than just pace going for him. He has a great first touch, vision, range of passing, finishing, and technical skills. R9 was a freak of nature though, I don't think the human body can sustain what he was doing in his early 20's for very long, you can be that big, strong, fast, and technical like that, the body had to give out.

He's filth
He scored the second and third goals too - he only came off the bench at half time.
Not even the usual French league statpadding they were down by a goal when he got the PK.
Too good for French League
Scary good, he's worth whatever money. 500 mill?
2nd goal is too fecking class. All calm, just chip it like that
He is a 19 years old monster of a player. Some people couldn’t handle all of that he’s already done at his age, but I feel that winning that World Cup is only gonna be positive for him, I can’t say the same for all of the other players.
His second goal was absolute class, and his passing for the penalty kick was exquisite. I know some people think he’s wasting his time in Ligue 1 but that’s the beauty of his young age, he has plenty of time to show his stuff elsewhere down the line.

Woody should offer 300m and see what happens
i know its cool to hate on Neymar and all, but what a talented player he is. ridiculous.
I was expecting the same finish as his first or even the other side of the goal. To chip it from there isn't something players often do.
our only hope is a FFP sanction, but I refuse to delude myself again,I have gone from Neymar to Rodrigo, so I'm not going to go that way againI don't want to live in a world where Mbappé doesn't play for real madrid
He’s going to want to leave Ligue 1 at some point, United need to be all over it.
Off course we must be all over it. Specially considering in 3 years Sanchez won’t have the same level and M’Bappe can play anywhere on the front 3.
Get on it agent P!
I don't want to live in a world where Mbappé doesn't play for real madrid
Florentino Perez is still not over it apparently, but he will go to Real Madrid next, I am almost certain of it. Probably around 21-22, maybe even sooner if Paris win the Champion's League.
Thank feck he didn’t go to Citeh
What a player!
His 2nd goal was pure class. I find it hilarious Neymar is being overshadowed again, he'll probably force another move soon.
Those finished remind me of Henry. Will they be a power struggle down the line between himself and Neymar?
No, in the post match interview he was asked about his status and how he was now a star in the locker room maybe even equal to Neymar. He answered that he was maybe a star but that Neymar was a superstar and that he worked hard and for a long time at Barcelona to forge his reputation, that they weren't in the same category.
So superior.
Zidane managing a United team consisting of Pogba, Martial, Mbappe and Varane.. one can dream!Doubt he'd pick us over Real.
Unless Zizou was here
Don't worry man, we got Benz. He's going to set the football world on fire this season and take Mbappe's place in the French NT.I don't want to live in a world where Mbappé doesn't play for real madrid
We haven't a hope in hell unfortunately. Nothing glamorous about us at the moment.
funny to think had we offered 200 million the summer window before last it would look like a bargain now
In fairness, he isn’t going to say much different in a post interview. Besides I was thinking more Neymar being the instigator as he very evidently wants to be seen as number 1. If media build Mbappe as the star which is possible with him being one of their own, I can see a rift happening.
It was a big gamble by PSG and Madrid to agree that fee, regardless of the extraordinary potential he showed. So many things could have gone wrong and still could, but so far it looks like it was a good deal after all.
Second goal was all R9. He needs to get out of the French league asap, the standard of defending is shocking and he's well past that level now.
The money you’d be able to pay him should give him some motivation
Nah, money's not his primary motivation and he already makes a ton. His dream is to play for Madrid, and I'm pretty sure that'll be his next stop.
Money is always the primary motivation, if two top clubs go for a player, the one who offers more money will get him most of the time.
Where did you read that it was his dream to play for Madrid?
Not for every player, otherwise you'd have a lot more players in China or Qatar. And he's mentioned it was his dream in interviews in the past, which is why I was surprised he turned them down last summer when they were willing to pay the crazy fee Monaco was asking for but he's a smart kid and knows he's got plenty of time.
Going to China or Qatar is different, as long as it’s a top club they’ll want to go to whoever pays them more. That’s how it always is.
I’m searching and found nothing about this Madrid dream.. and if PSG signed him while Madrid were interested than United can do it too.
Seems Real have their next superstar for the next decade lined up, can't see Mbappe moving anywhere but there next.
There's no harm in trying, but City tried very hard and Manchester showed interest and he seems to not be interested in the Premier League. Every club will throw all the money at him, he'll pick Real Madrid. I don't have a source for you, but he's already had a couple of French documentaries about him I've watched where he has said that.
Real Madrid is a decent shout for his next club, but Perez needs to be willing to spend big for that (300m). Didn‘t do that in the summer.
Could also see City getting him if Pep is still there in a few years.
