Strong man of PSG, Kylian Mbappé is the player to counter for the opponents. As with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the coaches opposing the Frenchman must try to establish an anti-Mbappé plan in order to stop him. 3 years ago, the captain of the France team made Barça miserable during the first leg of the 1/8 final of the Champions League. At 22, he had his most successful match in this competition by scoring a hat-trick, notably thanks to his speed, as Gerard Piqué remembers. Luis Fernández, former PSG coach, may have the solution to the Frenchman's speed. In the columns of the Catalan daily Mundo Deportivothe former French international advocates the collective solution.
“It’s difficult to think about it because Kylian is a player who has this way of moving, of leaving. And what happens is that when this player has this availability and his teammates are looking for him… Yes (the battle will be played in midfield), they will have to play a high level game. They are the ones who will have to feed Dembélé, Kolo or Mbappé well” he explained to the Barcelona newspaper. Luis Fernández also thinks that collective defense is needed to counter Kylian Mbappé. For him, Barça will have to put in a great match because Luis Enrique's team does not have “no weak points because it’s a group which, as I told you, is a group which has this mentality, this group mentality which knows how to defend, which knows how to attack, which knows how to do it”.
