French World Cup champion Mbappe once again found himself omitted from the starting lineup, only to later emerge as a substitute and contribute an assist for Goncalo Ramos towards the end of the game. After the deadlock on Saturday night, the 25-year-old appeared visibly frustrated during a conversation with manager Enrique.
CANAL+ captioned the moment: “The discussion between Kylian Mbappé and Luis Enrique after PSG vs Clermont Foot 👀. What do you think they are talking about?”
Mbappe, who seems poised to depart PSG for Real Madrid this summer, has frequently been relegated to the bench in recent games, featuring as a substitute against Nantes, Stade Reims, and now Clermont. Nevertheless, the French international, who has assumed the captain’s armband on several occasions in recent weeks, has amassed an impressive record of 39 goals and nine assists this season, with PSG currently holding a commanding 13-point lead at the summit of Ligue 1. Although not a constant presence in every fixture, and notwithstanding any potential strain in his relationship with manager Enrique, Mbappe remains pivotal in crucial encounters, and his influence cannot be discounted.
As PSG gears up for the first and second legs of their Champions League quarter-final clash against Barcelona, scheduled for Wednesday and the subsequent Tuesday, Mbappe is expected to play a significant role in both encounters.
