Luis Enrique and Kylian Mbappé, a nasty blow to finish

Kylian Mbappé has been spectacular again for PSG, but Luis Enrique believes Vitinha is the club’s player of the season.

Mbappé’s situation and his departure from PSG have raised many questions about the relationship between Luis Enrique and the striker, despite the Spaniard’s constant praise of the 25-year-old, criticized in recent days by the press . Enrique did little to quell rumors of a falling out of love by choosing Vitinha as player of the season, although Mbappé was involved in no less than 51 goals in 48 appearances last season.

Speaking to the media, Enrique said: “For me, (Vitinha) is the player of the season. If you add up his qualities as a footballer, he is the best on the team and yet all the players are good, but he is exceptional. »

Vitinha yes, Mbappé no

Vitinha joined PSG in the summer of 2022 from Porto and had a mixed first season under Christophe Galtier. But since the start of the season under Enrique, the Portuguese midfielder has been the pillar and glue of the Spanish coach’s system.

With Mbappé’s departure this summer, the Parisian team expects the rest of its players to rise to the occasion to continue to dominate domestic football and rise to new heights in Europe. Heavy recruitment is also planned.
