We stopped PSG, not just Mbappé. Araujo and Koundé were very focused on his movements because he's exceptional in that.And all the players were very supportive.
Recall, the game was held at the Paris Parc des Princes and ended with a victory of Barcelona with a score of 3:2. Blaugrana midfielder Rafinha was recognized as the best player of the match.
It should be noted that Mbappe spent the entire match on the field without scoring.
