Paris Saint-Germain are flourishing in the post-Kylian Mbappé era this season. They’ve racked up three wins in Ligue 1 and netted 13 goals, prompting a club official to take a playful jab at the French star.
Bradley Barcola has been a standout, stepping up to help PSG move on from the 25-year-old’s departure. The young forward has already scored four goals in three league matches and kept up his impressive form with a goal in the France vs. Italy game.
Moreover, his PSG teammate Gianluigi Donnarumma notes that the capital club has replaced the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner with a player who has world-class potential.
“Bradley is fantastic, an incredible player,” Donnarumma told Téléfoot (h/t Canal Supporters). “He’s fantastic because he’s difficult to mark. He scores goals easily, he’s fast, he has a lot of qualities, he has everything. He has everything to become a world-class player.”
The real test for Barcola will start after the international break. They’ve got Girona and Arsenal coming up in the UEFA Champions League, all while juggling their Ligue 1 fixtures.
Will the young player manage the heavy schedule? And does the team have enough depth to give regular starters a break? These next few weeks are going to be quite intriguing.
