During a press conference on the eve of facing Real Sociedad in the Champions League, Luis Enrique confirmed the presence of Kylian Mbappé for this long-awaited meeting.
The news is good for Kylian Mbappé. Victim of a big sole last week against Brest in the Coupe de France, the kid from Bondy was spared for the reception of Lille, Saturday evening in Ligue 1.
And after having trained normally again with the rest of his teammates this Tuesday morning, the captain of the Blues will indeed be present in the Parisian group to face Real Sociedad, Wednesday (9 p.m.) at the Parc des Princes, in the eighth first leg of the Champions League final. He should even be a starter.
“The more he plays, the better it is for the team”
Invited to a press conference this Tuesday, Luis Enrique confirmed the presence of his number 7 against the Basques. “If he can start?” Yes, said the Spanish technician. I believe that when a team has a player of the rank of Kylian Mbappé, the only thing you have to understand is that the more he plays, the better it is for the team. He could have played four days ago but the risk was not worth it. »
The technician was also asked about the future of his number 7. “Whether this will be his potential last meeting at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League? No, he retorted. That’s not the way I feel, and so I don’t feel happy or sad or anything. Kylian Mbappé is as usual. »
