How did Barcelona stop Mbappe?

One of the huge talking points before Barcelona took on PSG was about how they would stop Kylian Mbappe. Although PSG scored twice in the 3-2 loss for the Parisiens, their star man was kept quiet.

Jules Kounde stuck to the job and didn't give Mbappe much space to breathe at all. He got close to his man and was very responsible, especially in terms of going forward.

Ronald Araujo was also massive and completely dominated the box. The one time Mbappe got free from Kounde, Araujo matched him and made sure he couldn't wreck havoc.

17 year old Pau Cubarsi was also phenomenal, reading the game very well and reacting superbly whenever Mbappe changed wings.

However the job is only half done. A player of Mbappe's calibre needs only a moment to change things.
