Best French midfield talent

No showboating
No dabbing
No clown hairstyling
No emoji making
No cringe talking
No self promoting

Just football playing

And great football playing

Agreed, impressed with him ever since he started playing for them and has progressed and improved significantly. Alongside Matuiti, Verrati, young and full of energy all rounder.

If PSG keep improving they really will become one of the top teams in Europe.

Bump. That defending

Was pretty impressive.. Better than verrati today by far.

He kept approaching players when Madrid was attacking and not actually taking anyone on. The ball and the forwards passed him by two many times with him just a meter away.

Verratti has not progressed in 3 seasons lol, he is at a stand still in his career, if anything he is regressing. Needs a manage who understands him

I think he just doesn't give a *bleep* to be honest, just likes the Paris lifestyle- I get that vibe from him

I like Rabiot but he was hilarious on the third goal. Stand in the middle wihtout marking, watch Bale and approach him slowly, watch Kroos and approach him slowly, watch Marcelo and approach him slowly, while all three combined and scored. Didn't go for it on the second goal either. Wasn't as involved with passing either as Lo Celso and Verratti.

It would probably take Khedira half a season to equal Verratti's passes from tonight

Can't be at fault if you don't touch the ball

if you mean minimum efforts in training, minimum order effort to win domestic titles and to crush scrubs in the weekend and partying for the rest of the time then I agree with you

He is actually known in Paris to have a pretty savage night life and PSG cover for him in the media same as for nerman to make sure he doesn't have bad local press.

That's exactly what I mean. Apart from his annual summer pity party when he gets his raise in wages

It's hard to progress as a player if that's your mentality, but I get it, you want to have fun too

So is there anything he excels at in particular?

Seems like one of those jack of all trades kind of CM. Don't watch much LOL1, but for those who do, is my impression correct or have I just not seen enough of him?

Why would a club was seriously wants to invest and progress keep such players though, I would understand if hes a big star type that attracts fans and income, but dont think hes that big.

Anyway, Abiot Ive been impressed with every time I watch him and rate him high, not that I follow PSG, but every now and then. used to be more focused on defending but have improved his overall game a lot and helps out going forward as well. This game was lost for PSG for reasons outside of him clearly.

Terrible player, mental midget, clown. Good enough for the Saudi league, or MLS, maybe. Wouldn't even make it in China.

at least Verratti has the verve to get himself sent off

Rabiot is literally stealing a living

I can't believe they're actually paying him for this panorama of apathy

Wow Hans calamity with the hot takes left and right, lol

Did you expect them to win?

He was totally hoping PSG won, he probably had writen some delicious banterific posts before hand to prepare for their victory. Madrid, once again, has ruined his footballing evening.

Doc

You know me so well

this guy wrote a letter to the french football federation to be removed from the world cup reserve list lmao

the mentality of french players always surprise me

anyway rip his international career, he is going to get blacklisted

Why would someone do something like that? More importantly, if Rabiot was Xavi level I can understand the ego but this is a footballer whose accomplishments and talent aren't exactly measuring up to "writing your federation and demanding to be taken from the reserves" sort of ego.

An absolutely ill-advised move on his part.

because he is an arrogant brat being fed he is the next best thing in the world by his entourage and he doesnt take competition well.

I can see him being sold from PSG as well with all the problems his mother brings and Tuchel wanting Weigl.

This why you should never let your mother be your agent, your dad>>>>, look at Neymar, unreal clout that guy has. Another W for men all over the world.

When your mom is your manager ... lack of perspective here

I don't know, Raiola still takes the cake for me as (and by far) the most despicable agent in world football, followed by Icardi's wife-turned-agent Wanda and then Neymar's father.

Honorable mentions: Mendes.
