‘As long as we can take advantage of Kylian Mbappé’ – Luis Enrique praises star despite uncertain future
Kylian Mbappé’s (25) status in the Paris Saint-Germain team has taken a knock since the 15th of February when it was first reported that he had informed the club of his decision to leave at the end of the season.
In the four Ligue 1 games that followed, Mbappé found himself either dropped to the bench or substituted early as Luis Enrique warned that they had to “ Get used to playing without him .” Only the Champions League and the Coupe de France served as a reprieve and a return to his former status as an untouchable presence within the starting lineup.
However, last night against Montpellier HSC, there was a taste of what had come before as Mbappé both started and finished a Ligue 1 game. The result was a spectacular performance that saw him demolish a spirited home side 6-2, with the winger recording his third hattrick of the season.
