Despite a relatively modest performance, 25-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé scored two goals in the Champions League quarter-final second leg against FC Barcelona (4-1) this Tuesday.
Parisian coach Luis Enrique specifically praised the leadership role played by French international Kylian Mbappé during the return match against Barça.
“He has been a leader, from start to finish. When a team feels that such an important player is ready to lead us… I am very happy with all my players. I would like to highlight Vitinha as well as Ousmane Dembélé,” said Luis Enrique.
“I feel very proud of our first 12 minutes, until the first goal conceded. We showed what we wanted to do here. We conceded a goal, but we remained intact in mentality, we did everything to be better than Barça. Everything changed with the red card. From there, it was more complicated for them. The players showed a lot of character and desire,” praised the Spanish coach on Canal +.
