“I do have problems but the coach is not one”, he added. Mbappe has started on the bench or been substituted in each of PSG’s three previous Ligue 1 games since informing the club that he would be leaving when his contract expires at the end of the season.
“We are very, very pleased to be in the quarter-finals. I don’t have any message in particular. I just always want to play in the Champions League. It is a very important competition. I try to always perform”, continued Mbappe.
“Sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesn’t, but I will never be a player who hides”, he concluded. “There is no need to manage Mbappe. He manages himself”, said manager Luis Enrique.
