Video: Mbappé Nutmegs the Life Out of Two Dijon Defenders

If you think Kylian Mbappé only relies on his pace and physical ability to beat defenders, you are woefully ill-informed.

With Paris Saint-Germain already in the lead over Dijon FCO at the Parc des Princes through Pablo Sarabia’s 3rd-minute goal, Mbappé attempted to add to that lead with a stunning display of dribbling in the 25th minute.

The Frenchman took the throw-in on Dijon’s side of the pitch and Juan Bernat immediately played it right back. Mbappé sized up Julio Tavares for a moment and then nutmegged him before making Mickaël Alphonse his next victim with the same move. Wesley Lautoa was the third defender to challenge Mbappé and he eventually played the ball out for a PSG corner.

Mbappé has been in the mood the entire match. He should have probably scored and definitely recorded an assist if Edinson Cavani didn’t miss the easiest chance you’ll ever see.
