Own goal against Rennes

Coppola recorded an own goal and 15 clearances in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Rennes.

Analysis: Coppola endured a difficult outing, scoring an own goal while dealing with a busy defensive task against Rennes. Since joining Paris FC on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion in January, he has played 12 matches and helped the side keep four clean sheets, showing fairly steady form overall. However, this was one of his rougher performances recently. Coppola's next fixture will come against Paris Saint-Germain, who have already secured the league title, making it another difficult matchup.

Struggling for minutes

Coppola has struggled for minutes since joining Brighton, logging only 16 minutes in the Premier League so far.

Analysis: Coppola has featured only 16 minutes in the Premier League for the Seagulls since joining over the summer. The center-back is still young, and the best league in the world has been tough to adapt to for foreigners, but his low amount of minutes is somewhat surprising given how decent he has been with Verona in Serie A in recent seasons, which earned him a call-up to the Italian national squad in June. Coppola will hope to see increased playing time in the upcoming months to show his qualities in the backline for Brighton.
