French media deliver harsh verdict on Mika Godts' debut for Paris Saint-Germain

The French media have been harsh on Mika Godts after his Paris Saint-Germain debut. The forward failed to make a positive impression in the 2-2 draw with Stade Rennes.

PSG signed Godts from Ajax two weeks ago for €52 million. The Belgian winger put pen to paper on a deal running until mid-2031.

Sunday evening's season opener saw the left winger start on the bench, but he came on at half-time. He replaced Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.

By the break, the Parisians were already 2-0 down against Rennes. With Godts and Ferran Torres on the pitch, though, they still fought back to level it. The Spaniard struck twice to make it 2-2.

French newspapers have lavished praise on Torres, while Godts has yet to convince. Foot Mercato gave the KRC Genk academy product a 4 for his display.

"At his first touch, he was already offside. He played without courage, did not make things difficult for the Rennes defence and squandered a shooting chance," the outlet concluded.

Le Parisien were no more impressed. The local paper also gave Godts a failing mark (5).
