Kylian Mbappé seems to enjoy playing with Bradley Barcola. An obviously shared pleasure.
Last Sunday, during the closing match of the 18th day of Ligue 1 between RC Lens and Paris Saint-Germain (0-2), Bradley Barcola was one of the great architects of the Parisian victory. Author of the opening score for the Rouge et Bleu, the former Lyonnais then carried out a dribbling festival, provoking Gradit’s red card. Above all, his understanding with Kylian Mbappé was obvious.
The 21-year-old winger is honored to be able to play alongside the Bondy native. “We know Kylian, we know what he is capable of doing, so when you give him the ball, you know that at any moment, it could turn into an assist. It’s exceptional to play with him. You know that you are playing with one of the best players in the world, plus he has this leadership role on the pitch, he talks to us a lot, he directs us… I am really very happy to play with him”declared the former Olympique Lyonnais player in an interview given to the official PSG website.

Barcola also takes stock of its first six months spent under the Ile-de-France colors. “I think I’m progressing little by little. It’s true that at the beginning I didn’t have a lot of playing time and I’m starting to play more and more. I really feel better and better. I think we are on the right track. We are adhering more and more to what the coach offers us, we are really getting into the tactics together and I really like what the team is offering,” concludes Parisian number 29, now preferred by Luis Enrique to Asensio, Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos.
