Mbappe Insists He Has No Issues With PSG Manager Luis Enrique
Kylian Mbappe insists he has no issues with manager Luis Enrique after guiding Paris Saint Germain into the quarterfinal of the UEFA Champions League at Real Sociedad's expense on Tuesday.
Mbappe scored both goals as PSG run out 2-1 winners on the night to complete a 4-1 aggregate victory over their Spanish opponents and advance into the quarterfinals for the first time since 2021.
Mbappe will leave PSG this summer to join Real Madrid and had been used sparingly by Enrique since making his intentions known to the club last month.
Mbappe has not completed the full 90 minutes in any of PSG's three league games since announcing his impending exit, including getting substituted at half time in a goalless draw at AS Monaco on Friday.
But the France captain insists he has no problems with his manager.
Speaking to Canal+ after the match, the 25-year-old said, "My response on the ground? No, I don't have a particular message. I still want to play in the Champions League. It's an important competition. But I will never be a player who hides. Is everything settled with Luis Enrique? There is no problem with Luis Enrique, even if people think I do. I have many problems, but the coach is not one of them."
Asked about Mbappe's substitutions in recent games, manager Enrique told Canal Plus: "Kylian will score 50 goals, make 25 assists with any coach, any team.
"Apparently, his immediate future won't be here so we'll have to test other solutions."
