Barely three months is how much time Kylian Mbappé has left at PSG. For which program exactly?
Kylian Mbappé and PSG, it’s well and truly over. Luis Enrique announced it again on Wednesday evening after the Parisians qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. “ Its immediate future will not be there so we will have to test other solutions », Said the Spanish coach, who thus implied that his duty remained to prepare his team for the post-Mbappé era.
In other words, as against Rennes and Monaco in recent weeks in Ligue 1, Bondy’s crack will be called upon to occupy the bench more often than usual between now and the end of the season. Kylian Mbappé himself simply recalling his appetite for the queen of European competitions: “ I don’t have a particular message. It’s just that I always want to play in the Champions League.

PSG will probably also count on its phenomenon in the Coupe de France, with the quarter-final to be played against Nice on March 13, then a possible semi-final against Rennes on April 3 and finally the final on May 25.
It is in the championship, in fact, that Kylian Mbappé’s appearances will become rarer. In the race for the title, while the Parisians have a good lead in the standings (9 points over Brest with 10 days to go), the capital club has barely more than three matches to contest – and still – in front of OM on March 31; OL on April 21 and Nice on May 4. PSG in the meantime will also face Reims, Montpellier, Clermont, Lorient, Le Havre and Toulouse. Meetings that the captain of the Blues will probably not play in full.
