Messi put an end to his 21-year association with Barcelona by joining PSG on a free transfer in the summer. The transfer meant that the Parisians now boast one of the best frontlines in Europe, with the Argentinean, Neymar and Mbappe leading the line for them.
The trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, though, have been the subject of a lot of criticism. This increased following PSG’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League this week. Many believe the Parisians’ forwards have not lived up to their expectations.
Former Manchester United and AS Monaco star Berbatov has now insisted that Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are yet to fulfill their expectations at PSG. The Bulgarian is of the view that the frontline is not working at the moment and felt they were predictable against Manchester City.
Berbatov went on to explain that Messi, Neymar and Mbappe still have to do a lot of work to justify their label as “the nightmare trio.” He said:
Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe’s record for PSG
Lionel Messi has scored four goals and provided two assists from 10 appearances across all competitions for PSG this season. The 34-year-old has struggled with fitness concerns since joining the Parisians in the summer.
Neymar has scored and assisted three goals each in 13 matches across all competitions for Mauricio Pochettino’s side this term.
Mbappe, on the other hand, has found the back of the net nine times, while providing 12 assists.
