Mbappe, alone in the face of danger

PSG have a big match at the Camp Nou this Tuesday. Since it was revealed that they will face Barca, the Parisian outfit have been looking ahead to the fixture. 

This Barca team is not the Barca of previous seasons and the French club want to take advantage of their defensive frailties. However, they will be without two of their big three up front. 

In the space of just a few days, Pochettino has lost Di Maria and Neymar. The Argentinian has got a muscle injury which he suffered against Marseille while the Brazilian has a grade II injury to the adductor muscles. 

This leaves Mbappe as the last man standing up front. The ex-Monaco man is alone in the face of danger and will have to make sure his team are not beaten by Barca. So far this season, the striker has scored 18 goals and got nine assists in 27 matches. 

It remains to be seen whether the coach rests him versus Nice this Saturday. This will most likely happen as it would be a big risk to play him. Tuesday's match up is a golden opportunity for the number '7', who is still Real Madrid's number one target for next season.
