Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, was not completely satisfied with Kylian Mbappé’s performance in Reims despite his hat-trick.

Paris won easily in Reims this Saturday (3-0) and Kylian Mbappé was the main protagonist of this great success for the French champions. Inspired and exceptionally positioned in a nine role, the French international scored three goals.

For Luis Enrique, “Mbappé must do more”

It was a magnificent performance from the crack Bondynois, but it did not completely satisfy Luis Enrique. After the match, the Parisian coach made it known in a completely serious tone that he expected better investment from his star player.

“I’m not really happy with him today, he said during his reaction on Amazon Prime at the end of the game. I have nothing to say about the goals he scores. But he can be better at certain things. I’ll tell him. He’s one of the best players in the world, but we need him to do more. Maybe I’m wrong “.

While damning Mbappé, the Spanish coach affirmed that he had nothing to say about Gianluigi Donnarumma’s performance: “Gigio?” A great team needs a great goalkeeper. And he’s a top goalkeeper. He made 3 incredible saves. It’s his job. »

Finally, the PSG coach also spoke about Gonçalo Ramos, author of a delicate half-match and left at the break. “I’m happy because he’s a great player, with a good mentality. He didn’t deserve to get out, but it was my decision. Why did you release it? Because we weren’t in control. I could have changed Mbappé too. It was important to keep the ball.”
