It’s tomorrow around 11 p.m. that Kylian Mbappé will end his Parisian life. Rarely, he has the possibility of ending it with a title with the final of the Coupe de France against OL, and in a Pierre-Mauroy stadium which has often been successful for him. This will be his 308th and final match with the red and blue colors before joining, most likely, Real Madrid next season. The (open) secret is jealously guarded. The striker will have the opportunity to shine one last time, and perhaps even improve on his mark of 256 goals scored with Paris. He is already the top scorer in his club’s history.
“He was a very important player for us, all the years he was here, recognizes Marquinhos in a pre-match press conference. The captain will have shared no less than 7 seasons with the 2018 world champion. This is his last match with us. We will try to use him in the best possible way, if he plays. It must be a special motivation for him and for us. We have to see him finish well with us to see him score one last time.” The Brazilian clearly underlined it, “if he plays.” Absent during the last two L1 matches, Mbappé has not been called up for two weeks. An eternity on its scale.
Luis Enrique has fun one last time with the Mbappé subject
Luis Enrique did not appreciate the relaxation of certain players, against Le Havre (3-3) and against Toulouse in particular (1-3) and did not hesitate to emphasize it, without mentioning anyone in particular. The message went well according to the Asturian. “I am transparent with everyone. My messages are intended for the players and the team responded perfectly. I’m not complaining about that. Today is the penultimate press conference and it’s important because it’s a final.” Will we see Kylian Mbappé, summoned for this gala match? The doubt was quickly removed by Luis Enrique, while playing with his audience.
He first voluntarily answered a question about the star’s involvement. “The involvement of all the players was very good and complete. The credit goes not to me but to the match we are going to play. It’s a final with two groups of supporters, 90 minutes, important details. I am satisfied with all the attitudes. Little silence and smile from Luis Enrique. “The question is whether Kylian will play tomorrow? Of course (in French). If it will start? Of course (also in French).” And win a 4th French Cup personally for the player? That would be the icing on the cake before packing up.
