Gianluigi Donnarumma scored six key goals, and Kylian Mbappe scored a hattrick to help PSG overcome Reims on Saturday and top the French league.

PSG praised goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for his saves that prevented Reims and helped Luis Enrique’s team recover from their Champions League loss to AC Milan.

Mbappe leads Ligue 1 with 13 goals in 11 games. The French captain scored twice for Europe.

His superstar disappointed his coach.

Though Kylian Mbappe can improve, we value him. “I want more from him,” said the Spaniard.

He is a talented player with room to improve. I wouldn’t let him relax.”

Amazon Prime received Mbappe’s performance complaint.

I want to score and play well. Mbappe stated, “I want to always give my all for the squad.”

Mbappe said, “We just wanted to win since it’s a different tournament,” when asked how he would improve following Milan. Since this tie was good, we wanted to win. The task’s completion relieves us.

“We will have time to think about the Champions League, but Ligue 1 is a different competition, and that means a different mindset and a different way of playing.”

With two group games left, PSG’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League knockout round are at risk after their 2-1 loss in Milan on Tuesday. They seem at ease in their own home after a tough season.

Donnarumma at her best

Mbappe’s side-foot volley from an Ousmane Dembele cross passed the goalie and struck the bottom corner for Luis Enrique’s team’s sixth straight Ligue 1 win.

Junya Ito’s great goal for Reims was disallowed for offside. Donnarumma made a great reaction stop on Amir Richardson before halftime after stopping him again.

A minute later, Marshall Munetsi’s header was saved, and PSG—without Achraf Hakimi and Randal Kolo Muani—needed Donnarumma again. After three minutes, they led 2-0.

Mbappe deceived his opponent by completing a Carlos Soler pass across the net with a back-post sprint.

Bradley Barcola cut back, and Mbappe scored 3-0 with eight minutes left. Munetsi was denied again by Donnarumma.
