According to L’Equipe, PSG does not have a particular objective in the Champions League this season. The club is in a transitional year.
The C1 is not at the heart of Luis Enrique’s concerns. The Spanish coach is preparing for the future without Kylian Mbappé. According to the sports newspaper, his message is clear: He did not come to PSG to win the Champions League this season.
“With his entourage, the coach has set a path and medium-term objectives: to give a playing identity, to develop a project around a collective. In his eyes, Mbappé, by announcing his departure, has put himself on the sidelines of this long-term project and is especially less focused on football since,” explains L’Equipe.
Mbappé will play if he convinces in training. Meanwhile, Luis Enrique wants to develop his game without him, with Bradley Barcola.
As for the management, PSG President Nasser al-Khelaïfi lets Luis Enrique manage, but Luis Campos, the sports advisor, would be less happy with this situation.
And what about the players? “Mbappé has exchanged with some of his closest teammates in the locker room on the subject and has expressed his annoyance but without making this theme a collective topic of debate.”
