When Mbappe played his last match for PSG in the French National Cup Final, coach Enrique will have to plan to find a replacement for the former Monaco star.
Recently, PSG won 2-1 against Lyon in the French National Cup final, thereby lifting their third trophy this season (after the French Super Cup and Ligue 1). In the farewell match for Paris, Mbappe did not score, but he was still happy because he could end 7 years with PSG with a title.
After the match, coach Enrique had words of praise for Mbappe, as quoted by Culture PSG: “I have the honor of coaching Kylian this season. This year has been a challenging journey for him, who chose to leave the team after 7 years of many achievements. He is always steadfast and wants to contribute to the team.
Today, Mbappe made his mark. Even though he didn’t score, his influence on the attack was still very good. There is no doubt that he is a difficult talent to replace. We won’t be able to simply find another player to replace him. That’s the wrong question. No one can replace Mbappe.”
Next, the PSG coach offered a solution, saying that the strength of the team is what will help solve the absence of Mbappe next season. “We will try to solve the problem with a group, maybe four, five or six new players,” he said. It is necessary to promote collective spirit and constant ambition towards titles. This will be our focus in the coming seasons.”
