Kylian Mbappé speaks out on PSG and Luis Enrique

Kylian Mbappé, 26-year-old forward for Real Madrid and the French National Team, answered questions from Movistar in an interview broadcast this Monday. As often, he was invited to reflect on his time at Paris Saint-Germain from 2017 to 2024. The French international spoke candidly and also mentioned coach Luis Enrique.

Mbappé "A new era for Paris. I had seven incredible years."

"It was a pleasure to play in Paris, in my city, with high-level players. It was incredible. I arrived at a time of changes for the project, because it was coming off a historic defeat against Barcelona. And with many players like Neymar, Dani Alves... high-level people. A new era for Paris. I had seven incredible years. The records? They are details. Important or not, they are details. A personal glory: top scorer in history. But I think more about the emotions I felt, that I gave to people. That's what is truly important. The records are, because they allow people to remember you as a scorer. But the emotions, the titles won as a team, the historic moments like playing a Champions League final, having the opportunity to play with players who have made football history and from whom you learn a lot."

Mbappé "A very good person and an excellent coach"

The relationship with Luis Enrique? I saw him two days ago, because he went to the Lille-PSG match and I saw him in the parking lot. A very good person and an excellent coach. I had a very good relationship with him and I wish him the best in life. As a coach, I had a great time with him in Paris." remarks relayed by AS.

We are starting to get used to it, Mbappé speaks well of his years at PSG and highlights all the happiness he experienced in "his city." A speech that goes down a bit less well with the ongoing legal battle and the determination that seemed clear to leave. Even if it was to join Real Madrid, which had been his dream for a while.

He is possibly still honest. The forward probably wanted to win the Champions League in Paris, in addition to breaking records. Which, of course, leave a mark. Perhaps more than "emotions." These might have been lacking with a relatively cold player, not particularly combative, ready to throw barbs in public and who did not rule out the idea of joining the club where he really wanted to play.

In any case, he remains positive about the club and Luis Enrique. We appreciate that he avoids a controversy that could quickly escalate. However, not everything was simple with the Spanish coach, who tried to push him to integrate more into the team.
