Nantes – PSG: Kylian Mbappé, the match after

The announcement had the effect of a bomb on the football world. While we exclusively revealed to you, on January 7, that Kylian Mbappé had decided to join Real Madrid at the end of the season, the media around the world followed suit this Thursday, relaying the information according to which the French international (75 caps, 46 goals) had finally informed Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of the Rouge et Bleu, that he was going to leave the capital club after seven years of good and loyal service. This news has since led to a flood of reactions. Journalists, consultants and supporters gave their opinions on the decision of Parisian number 7.

From the timing to his career choice through to the future consequences on the project of the reigning French champions, football observers have continued to feed a soap opera which has now lasted for several seasons and which is, today today, about to close. While awaiting official communications from the various parties concerned, a central question remains. What end to the season for Kylian Mbappé with PSG? If his motivation is not in too much doubt, his relationship with the club, his teammates and the supporters risks being turned upside down. With this in mind, the first outing of the 2018 world champion – since the new revelations made – against FC Nantes this Saturday will necessarily be particularly scrutinized. Certainly more than usual.

Eyes fixed on Mbappé!

If his overall performance against the Canaries will remain at the heart of the final analysis, his body language should also be monitored down to the smallest detail. What state of mind will the main people concerned be in just a few hours after this media tornado? What also about his relationship with his partners after announcing his departure from the PSG Campus? So many questions which will not fail to raise the stakes of this poster counting for the 22nd day of Ligue 1. Present at a press conference before moving onto the Canaries pitch, Luis Enrique has, in any case, affirmed that this episode had in no way affected the Parisian group. “It’s the atmosphere of every practice before a game. It was normal training.”. A laconic exit for the current Parisian architect, also refusing to say more about the Mbappé case.

“Until the parties involved weigh in, I will not comment. I’m the coach. I will speak when the parties speak. We will continue to work. The team is above everyone else, that’s our message. The club is above all individuality”. Before that, the one who had pointed a “lack of personality” after the disappointing first period of the Parisians against Real Sociedad will certainly be keen to continue their frantic pace. Top scorer in Ligue 1 with 20 goals since the start of the season, the former Monegasque is, once again, expected at the forefront of the Parisian attack with a single ambition: to prove to everyone that the last hours have not , in no way, undermined his determination in Paris.
