The time for reunion has come! Paris Saint-Germain faces Real Madrid this Wednesday evening (9 p.m.) during the second semi-final of the Club World Cup, on the lawn of the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey.

On paper, the meeting between the two clubs is already likely, but another element makes the match more attractive: the reunion between PSG and Kylian Mbappé. While the two parties are not on good terms, due to a legal battle led by the French international, the general public is impatiently waiting to see how they will behave towards each other.

On the PSG side, it is indicated that the reunion will take place most normally in the world. In the mixed zone, Achraf Hakimi had also indicated that he was impatient to find his former teammate. “I am very happy to find Kylian Mbappé and I hope he can start the match, if he is not reduced. But the most important thing is to defend your own colors ”, he said.

Kylian Mbappé is part of the ancient history for Luis Enrique

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique did not show the same impatience to find his former player. Arrested at a press conference on this subject, the former Barça coach declares the 2018 world champion is now part of ancient history.

“Kylian Mbappé?” It belongs to the past. The past is not important. You have to focus on the present. There are a lot of things that are a particular match. Around the match, there are many different situations. But in the end, the most important thing is to play a semi-final of the Club World Cup ”, he said.
