Luis Enrique says PSG must learn to play without Mbappe

Following Kylian Mbappe’s announcement that he will leave PSG at the end of the season and rumors that he has already signed for Real Madrid, the French star is still front and center.

If in the match with “Nantes” he was introduced in the last half hour, then for the match with “Rennes” the player returned to the first eleven of the Parisians.

Amazingly, in the 65th minute, with the team leading, Mbappe was replaced by Luis Enrique, but new signing Gonzalo Ramos eventually equalized.

After the match, the Spain coach explained his decision and wanted to send a strong message.

“Sooner or later we will have to learn to play without Kylian. When I think it is necessary, he will play, that’s what all coaches do.

I wish you maximum competitiveness in the next season. I want all the owners to take this opportunity,” Enrique said, according to Marca.

Mbappe, returning to the starting line-up straight away at the Parc des Princes, has been well received by fans who appear to be sticking with him until he leaves Paris.
