What happens to Thomas Meunier?
Although his name may have disappeared from the radar, Thomas Meunier is still a Borussia Dortmund player. Appearing twice this season with the German club, the Belgian international remains the player best placed to discuss this clash between the two clubs.

He takes his responsibilities“, he explained in comments transcribed by Canal +. “ Me, if I’m a coach, I put my 6 in individual marking on him the entire meeting. If Mbappé does 10 kms, my midfielder will do 10, if Mbappé does 12, my midfielder will do 12. He is a player who must be kept on a leash.
