PSG coach Luis Enrique did not wish to make any comment on the absence against OL of Kylian Mbappé, who remained on the bench throughout the match.
It has become a usual image in recent weeks: Kylian Mbappé once again sat on the bench at the kick-off of the match between PSG and OL on Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes. Except that this time, the Parisian striker did not even come into play during the great success recorded by the Rouge et Bleu (4-1), at the end of the 30e day of Ligue 1. A first for him since February 10, against Lille (3-1).
A strong and assumed choice on the part of Luis Enrique who, since the former Bondy prodigy announced to his leaders his intention to leave the club at the end of the season, manages the star's playing time as he sees fit. . Nothing personal a priori, because five days after qualifying for the semi-finals of the Champions League obtained on the pitch of FC Barcelona (1-4), Ousmane Dembélé also remained rested.
Luis Enrique has “nothing to say” about Mbappé
But the Catalan technician still seemed annoyed by the questions surrounding the current top scorer in the championship, contenting himself with a laconic response. “And as far as Kylian is concerned, I have nothing to say until the parties speak out, I will continue to remain silent and when the parties speak out, then it will be time to speak”he said at a press conference, comments relayed by RMC Sport.
The most suspicious will nevertheless note that Luis Enrique praised his attack, made up of Randal Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcola and Gonçalo Ramos, author of a double, as rarely this season. “I thought we played a great first half. In terms of dominance and knowing how and when to attack, it was one of the best of the season, he observed. I'm very happy, it's been a great week. »
