That cancelled out Chadian forward Casimir Ninga’s opener for Caen, and Mbappe then grabbed the winner in the 87th minute for his 29th goal in all competitions this season.This was an eighth successive win for PSG in all competitions, and their enormous lead at the top of Ligue 1 is now 20 points before second-placed Lille play Dijon today.
Gianluigi Buffon, Thiago Silva, Presnel Kimpembe, Juan Bernat, Marco Verratti and Julian Draxler were all either left on the bench or absent altogether. “Now we must analyse Manchester United again. They have some players missing and now they are doing things a bit differently so we need to look at what team we will put out.”
“It’s not good to play with fear, but it’s not good to play with too much confidence either,” added Tuchel.“We can’t control the result, you never can in football, but we can control our performance.” The Normandy side looked as if they might get their first league win of 2019 when they went ahead in the 56th minute, Faycal Fajr sending a free-kick through to Ninga, who controlled on his thigh and fired home.
