Look like LAFC/Club America was a wild one last night 
Yeah, Mbappe definitely isn't capable of putting in the 70+ mins off the ball work that Dembele did last night.
It wasn't just the running either. He was setting traps, angling runs to force Inter into playing to specific areas, stood right back into position for free kicks and goalkicks. He was laser focused. Not a lot of guys have the capacity for that tbh.
The passing was sublime too. That backheel to vitinha for the third goal was just *chefs kiss*
Mbappe can do it all with a football, but you think he's dropping deep to near the center circle to play a backheel for a goal he won't get a goal or assist from?
Mbappe nor Dembele are natural strikers, both tasked with doing it this season. One won it all and one ended with 0 trophies.

The core of the team(Barella, Thuram, Lautaro, Bastoni, Dumfries, Dimarco) are still under 30 tho. Their other older players shouldn't be that hard to replace.

France attack is insanely stacked. Too bad midfield and manager are complete ass. Once Zidane comes France gonna be spooky
What a hearbreaking season for Inter. They were inches away from a treble if they got one or two lucky bounces
The scoreline doesnt reflect the gap IMO....they went toe to toe with Barca/ Napoli and lived to tell about it

Sure, the team is now a far better unit, I totally agree with this.
My point was that if only half the 6 posts/crossbars go in, they are through in the final against Madrid. Against Aston Villa this year, they had 4 xG and they scored 5 times. Against BVB last year, they had 5 and scored 0. Sometimes luck does take part in the outcomes
I think Dembouz and Mbappe are two different players so I can't really compare them.
Even the Monaco version of Mbappe wasn't pressing much, just doing the basic sprint towards his man when he had the ball. This was always the "deal" with him... as long as he scores and/or assists. And I say that as I often scream at my TV when Kylian doesn't press with the NT
So I'm not defending his lack of effort, just that it's simply his game.Dembouz always was able to drop down, doing dummy runs or press. Under Tuchel at Dortmund, he was a winger drifting in midfield to play behind the striker, it's something that is naturally part of his game. So overall, I think Dembouz is simply a better fit for Enrique's system.
That said, I'll always be convinced that that BVB semi final last year was some bad juju at work and that under normal circumstances PSG plays Real in the final

You know I been thinking about this a lot lately. PSG has a lot of "team goals" it's their style of play and I feel like a pass like that should be awarded with an assist as it would be in hockey. I don't know why it's not but what can you do.
