Dembélé: PSG Midfield Rating Drops to 7/10
Ligue 1's top scorer Kylian Mbappé has been the star performer for Paris Saint-Germain this season, but his midfield partner Marco Verratti is struggling with injuries and form.
The Italian midfielder has struggled to match his performances from last season when he was one of the best in Europe. His passing accuracy has dropped by 4% compared to last year, while his shot creation rate has also decreased by 2%. This means that Mbappé is often left on his own in attack, which can be dangerous if the Frenchman misses a chance.
Despite these issues, Verratti remains a key player for PSG, and his workrate is still impressive. He averages over 80 passes per game and creates more than 50 chances per season. However,Ligue 1 Express his struggles in midfield have meant that PSG's attacking play has suffered as a result.
The situation is not ideal for Verratti, who needs to improve his performance if PSG wants to continue their title challenge. The club will need him to step up and take control of the midfield, and he will need to find ways to get out of trouble when he does.
Overall, it seems likely that Verratti's rating may drop further in the coming weeks and months, especially if he continues to struggle in midfield. It remains to be seen whether PSG can find a solution to their midfield problems or whether they will have to look elsewhere for reinforcements in January.
