And the Iberian media are looking at the very short term at the moment. This Sunday, PSG welcomes Stade de Reims (1 p.m.), as part of the twenty-fifth round of Ligue 1. What will Luis Enrique decide to do regarding his nugget? On the start, but still so important, will Kylian Mbappé start against the Champenois? This is what AS asked himself, who did not hesitate to speak of a “test” for the French player. With this first barrier of tenure (or not) to cross.

Sorry obtained?

Then, the media explained that it was waiting to see how the Parisian supporters present at the Parc des Princes would welcome their player, wondering “ if he has obtained the forgiveness of the fans or if, on the contrary, he must submit to even more penance “. A way of recalling that some PSG supporters have expressed their weariness of the multiple episodes linked to the recent management of Kylian Mbappé by his coach and the player’s reactions, not always well received, as when he went to sit in the stands to follow the second period of the match against Monaco.
